The Knight - Oil on Board by Pietro della Vecchia - 17th Century

17th Century

About the Item

The Knight is an original painting realized by Pietro della Vecchia during the XVII century. Oil on board. Original title: Ritratto di giovane cavaliere con cappello piumato. Includes the contemporary frame Salvator Rosa with three orders of carving. The boy in the painting is the same model as that of the painting Giovinezza e vecchiaia (private collection). Pietro della Vecchia (Venice, 1603 – Vicenza, 1678) studied with Alessandro Varotari (Il Padovanino), from whom he inherited the interest in Venetian paintings of the sixteenth century, in particular, those of Titian and Giorgione. Recognized for his skills used to reproduce the style of the masters of the sixteenth century, he is also well-known as a painter of genre scenes and portraits. As an official painter of the Republic of Venice, he was commissioned to produce the cardboards of the mosaics for the Basilica of San Marco. When the artist died in 1678, he was buried in San Canciano church in Venice.

  • Three Angels
    By Domenico Piola the Elder
    Located in New York, NY
    Provenance: Robert L. and Bertina Suida Manning, New York, until 1996 Private Collection, USA One of the leading artists in Genoa during the second half of the seventeenth century, Domenico Piola came from a successful family of artists, renowned for their many illusionistic ceiling programs throughout Genoese churches and palaces. A prolific draughtsman and painter, Domenico oversaw an extremely productive studio. In addition to his collaborations with numerous other artists, Domenico also provided many designs for book illustrations and prints that circulated throughout Europe, earning him international exposure and high acclaim in his own day. As Dr. Anna Orlando has indicated (written communication), the present work is an early work by Piola, datable from the late 1640s. At this time the young artist came strongly under the influence of Castiglione and Valerio Castello, while admiring the works of Giulio Cesare Procaccini. Piola’s works from this period are exuberant and fluid, and the artist’s love of portraying children is evident from the angels and putti that populate both his altarpieces and more intimate paintings. The present work depicts three angels...
