GIOVANNI PAOLO CASTELLI, LO SPADINO (ROMA 1659 - 1730)
Est: €1,000 - €1,500
Giovanni Paolo Castelli, lo Spadino (Roma 1659 - 1730) Natura morta appoggiata al terreno Olio su tela 49 x 66,5 cm Nel corso del XX secolo gli studi hanno distinto tre pittori della famiglia Castelli, tutti specializzati nella natura morta: il più anziano fu Bartolomeo, detto il Vecchio, poi il fratello Giovanni Paolo, detto lo Spadino e il figlio di quest'ultimo, Bartolomeo il Giovane, anch'esso soprannominato Spadino. Le esecuzioni scure del più anziano Castelli furono superate dalla più briosa e colorata pittura di Giovanni Paolo Castelli. La sua formazione, infatti, oltre ai primi rudimenti in famiglia si aggiornò con Abraham Brueghel, prima che l'artista nordico lasciasse Roma nel 1675, poi frequentando David de Coninck e Christian Berentz. Bartolomeo il Giovane, lo Spadino, continuò sulla scia del padre realizzando nature morte intrise di colore ed raffinatezza in piena adesione allo stile imperante del rocaille, convogliando la natura morta in un esercizio di eleganza decorativa, ben lontana dai giochi chiaroscurali e dai significati simbolici che segnarono questo tema nel secolo precedente. Giovanni Paolo Castelli also called lo Spadino (Rome 1659 - 1730) Still Life Leaning on the Ground Oil on canvas 49 x 66,5 cm

"SPADINO"; GIOVANNI PAOLO CASTELLI (Rome, 1659 - 1730). "Still life with birds and fruit". Oil on canvas. Bibliography: Europ. Art, II. n.6. June 1991, pg. 57, image pg. 59. Size: 92 x 130 cm; 125 x 164 cm (frame). The combination of juicy fruits and exotic birds was repeatedly explored by Spadino, a painter in whose still lifes the most sensualist and exuberant side of the Baroque. The ripeness of the fruits has reached the highest degree of succulence (some are even beginning to open, announcing the ephemeral nature of their splendour). The flowers are also at the peak of their fragrance, ready to wither. In the background, Roman aqueducts form the perfect backdrop for the scenographic composition of nature. This carefully chosen, distinctly baroque scenography is enhanced by the careful study of light, based on a rhythmic interplay of alternating plant shadows and gleams that draw the eye to figs and grapes. The Flemish heritage can be seen in the accomplished pearly qualities of the fruit skins and the fleshy hearts of the split melons. Known as "Spadino", Giovanni Paolo Castelli was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, mainly active in Rome and specialising in still-life painting, mainly flowers and fruit. He came from a family of artists whose patron was Jan Herinans, a Flemish painter linked to the Pamphili family and specialising in floral compositions. Castelli therefore grew up in direct contact with the artistic circles of Rome at the time and began his training with his older brother, Bartolomeo Castelli (1641-1686), by then a well-known still-life painter. From 1674 he worked as an independent master and after Bartolomeo's death in 1686 he took over the family workshop. Giovanni Paolo Castelli's language also reveals the influence of the Flemish artist Abraham Brueghel, who was active in Italy. In fact, it seems that between 1671 and 1674 Castelli furthered his training in Brueghel's workshop. Castelli painted mainly rich cups and vases with flowers and fruit, with a personal style marked by a brilliant palette that emphasises the contours of the objects, rendered with meticulous detail and attention to quality. His language reveals the Flemish forms that he may have learned from his godfather Herinans, and later also from Brueghel, during the latter's stay in Rome before his final departure for Naples. His language was continued by his son, Bartolomeo Spadino (1696-1738). The origin of the nickname inherited by his son, "Spadino", is uncertain; it literally means "the man with the sword", and was already held by his father, just as he would pass it on to his son. Scholars raise the question of why he inherited the nickname and not his older brother, suggesting that the answer is the shape of his signature, which is very angular, like the blade of a knife. Other historians suggest that it may be due to the fact that the artist used a long, narrow palette, the shape of which is reminiscent of a sword. However, it is documented that Giovanni Paolo was imprisoned between 1680 and 1683 for murder, which may indicate that he earned his nickname by killing his enemy in a duel. Now considered one of the most important still-life painters of the Roman school of the late 17th and early 18th century, Giovanni Paolo Castelli is currently represented in the Pinacoteca Civica Fortunato Duranti in Montefortino, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Fesch in Ajaccio and the Pinacoteca in Rieti, among other collections.

Giovanni Paolo Castelli Lo Spadino (attribuito a) Still life with melon, pomegranates, apples and grapes
Est: €6,000 - €8,000
Oil on canvas Canvas cm. 48x64. Framed Questo squisito trionfo di frutta en plein air si presenta come un esempio ideale del felice interscambio che a cavallo tra XVII e XVIII secolo si verifica tra natura morta romana e napoletana. Tale rilevante congiuntura, che segna un apice del genere nella sua declinazione più liberamente barocca, ebbe tra i suoi attori principali Giovanni Paolo Castelli detto lo Spadino, Franz Werner Tamm e Pietro Navarra sul fronte romano e Giuseppe Ruoppolo e Tommaso Realfonso su quello partenopeo, con il caposcuola Abraham Brueghel, a lungo attivo in entrambi i centri, a fare da cerniera fra le due scuole. La nostra tela si deve collocare all'interno di questo frangente: il nostro pittore volge chiaramente lo sguardo verso Michelangelo da Campidoglio e Abraham Brueghel, mostrando un felice bilanciamento tra esuberanza decorativa e controllato equilibrio strutturale. Di alto rango, come si conviene per un naturamortista virtuoso, la resa dei vari frutti sotto il profilo dell'accuratezza mimetica delle superfici e l'attenzione ai riflessi della luce sulle bucce di variegata consistenza. In questo complesso scenario sembra di poter rilevare le più strette affinità sotto il profilo stilistico con alcune opere dello Spadino, come Uva, mele, zucca e melagrane della Pinacoteca Civica di Montefortino, e con vari raggruppamenti di frutta in dipinti di grande formato come la Natura morta con pappagallo, già Madrid, Edmund Peel, o quella di analogo soggetto esitata da Finarte Milano il 4 aprile 1989, l. 225 (vedi Bocchi, GPS.14, 30 e 32, pp. 605, 620, 622).

L'esuberanza decorativa barocca, la puntuale descrizione dei frutti e l'ambientazione sono indizi inequivocabili altresì mutuati degli esempi del Campidoglio e del fiammingo Abraham Brueghel, segnando l'evoluzione della natura morta capitolina del secondo Seicento. Sulla sua formazione non si deve tralasciare l'apporto del tedesco Christian Berentz (documentato in Italia dal 1689), in modo particolare per l'attenzione alla regia luministica che delinea con lucentezza le forme e impreziosisce le tonalità cromatiche. Ciononostante, il segno netto e la luminosità indicano un'analogia con la tela già di Costantino Nigro datata 1703 (Bocchi 2005, fig.

Giovanni Paolo Castelli, called Spadino (1659–1730). Still life with fruits, flowers and rabbit.
Est: €5,000 - €7,000
The rectangular composition combines a fruit still life with a flower still life, between the two there is an apple as a strong color accent and the composition is framed by rabbits on the sides. The fruit still life consists of apples and blue and green grapes. More fruit lies in the dark on the left. The brown rabbit crouches in the shadow on the left front. The color of the fur matches the tones of the fruit. The floral still life consists of red, white and pink roses as well as blue morning glory in a glass cup. The white rabbit's fur color matches the bright flowers and the light reflections of the glass. The still lifes are placed at the edge of a pond and the apple in the middle is reflected in the blue water. The painting is characterized by sophisticated colors and composition. The extreme landscape format indicates its use as a supraporte. A brown and white rabbit also appear in a fruit still life by Giovanni Paolo Castelli in the Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter and Paul in Rajhrad in Moravia, with the brown rabbit being almost identical (Zdeněk Kazlepka, In the Garden of Armida, Italian Baroque Still Life in Bohemia and Moravia, 2007, cat. no. 44, illustration p. 72.).

Giovanni Paolo Castelli, called Lo Spadino, Still Life with Watermelon, Citrus Fruits, Figs, Pomegranates, Pumpkins, Cherries and other Fruits and Flowers, on a Ledge before a Panoramic Landscape
Est: €8,000 - €12,000
Certificate Prof. Alberto Cottino, Turin, 25.2.2023. This beautiful and hitherto unpublished canvas depicts a rich display of fruit and hunting trophies arranged before a mountainous and wooded landscape. Both the composition and some stylistic elements, such as the reflections on the fruit, still show the influence of David de Coninck and, foremost, Abraham Brueghel. However, the bright colours, broad brushstrokes and the evocative atmosphere are already distant from Flemish naturalism and typical of the Roman Baroque still life. The painting is a characteristic example of Giovanni Paolo Castelli's mature work, and can be most securely ascribed to the first decades of the eighteenth century, as suggested by affinities to the works of Pietro Navarra. The composition strongly recalls some of the most accomplished compositions of the painter, such as the ones now kept in the Pinacoteca di Montefortino. Giovanni Paolo Castelli belonged to a family of still life painters who were leading in Rome in the second half of the seventeenth century: he himself achieved considerable fame, and many of his works were quoted in inventories of the most important Roman families. He began working for the Chigi family in 1689; and Cardinal Benedetto Pamphili owned eleven paintings by him in 1725, whilst several others were owned by the Spada and Rospigliosi. Many were also kept in Naples and Florence (for example with the Corsini), a sign of a fame that had expanded well beyond the bounds of the eternal city.

Still life
Est: €18,000 - €25,000
The life and production of this artist are closely linked to his native city, Rome, from which he never left. Sources report that his first apprenticeship was with his older brother Bartolomeo, who was also a painter. However, a close look at his works clearly reveals a direct knowledge of the Flemish culture of still life, Castelli’s favourite genre. It is certainly no coincidence that his neighbour was - from 1671 to 1674 - Abraham Breughel: it is to him that we owe the evidence of the artist’s dual style, both Roman and Flemish. A very personal trait is that Castelli moved away from the Flemish meticulousness of the lines and spread the colour in rapid brushstrokes. The exuberance of the composition contrasts with the decadence of some of the fruit; the redundancy of the elements is contrasted with a lack of attention to detail. He wants to illustrate richness but with simplicity.

GIOVANNI PAOLO CASTELLI detto SPADINO (attr. a)
Est: €2,000 - €4,000
(Roma, 1659 - 1730) Natura morta con anguria Olio su tela, cm 49,5X64,5 Il dipinto raffigura una ricca selezione di frutti disposti su un piano: l'analisi della composizione, del disegno e della stesura pittorica suggeriscono una attribuzione a Giovanni Paolo Castelli detto lo Spadino, interprete della produzione naturamortistica a Roma tra il XVII e il XVIII secolo. La similitudine con le tele di Abraham Brueghel consente di datare l'opera al periodo giovanile dell'artista, quando l'autore fiammingo Ã¨ ancora un punto di riferimento importante per la formulazione barocca del genere. Altrettanto evidenti sono le caratteristiche desunte dalle invenzioni di Bartolomeo Castelli il Vecchio (Roma, ? ; 1686), con cui il pittore ha compiuto la propria formazione. Tipica delle opere databili a questo periodo Ã¨ la scelta dei frutti maturi, che mostrano tutta la loro morbidezza e vivacitÃ cromatica, secondo un gusto assai prossimo a quello di Franz Werner von Tamm. L'opera Ã¨ corredata di una fotocopia di una perizia di Egidio Martini come Giovanni Paolo Castelli. Bibliografia di riferimento: G. Bocchi, U. Bocchi, Pittori di Natura Morta a Roma.

Giovanni Paolo Castelli detto Spadino (Roma 1650-1740) NATURA MORTA CON BICCHIERI, UCCELLINI E BISCOTTI olio su tela, cm 66x50,5 STILL LIFE WITH GLASSES, BIRDS AND BISCUITS oil on canvas, cm 66x50,5 Il dipinto è corredato da parere scritto di Ferdinando Arisi che pubblichiamo integralmente: "Questa natura morta con dei biscotti, una melagrana, dei fiori, dei vetri preziosi e degli uccellini morti (olio su tela, m. 0,55x0,505) va riferita a Giovanni Paolo Spadino (Roma 1650 c.-1740) sulla scia di Christian Berentz e in stretta contiguità con Cristoforo Munari nato dalla stessa matrice e operante accanto a lui sia a Roma che a Firenze. Al Munari, infatti, si penserebbe alla prima per le luci che toccano i vetri e per la cura e per la cura con la quale sono resi i biscotti, ma il cromatismo caldo e il fervore rilevabile sulla melagrana spaccata, nei fiori e negli uccellini morti portano decisamente verso lo Spadino. Basta, per convincersene, il confronto con la natura morta, firmata a tutte lettere (già nella collezione Nigro di Genova) illustrata da Giuseppe De Logu in "Natura morta italiana" (Bergamo 1962, Tav. 57) utile anche perché permette di stabilire un confronto tra gli stessi elementi della composizione. E' un dipinto di alta qualità godibile in ogni parte grazie al perfetto stato di conservazione."

Giovanni Paolo Castelli (1659 - 1730) - Still Life with Fruit
Est: Kč150,000 - Kč200,000
Oil on canvas. Giovanni Paolo Castelli, called Lo Spadino, was active mainly in Rome. His favorite subject were fruit and floral still lifes. More than a dozen of his works are part of the collections of the Pinacoteca Civica Fortunato Duranti. His first painting instructor was his brother Bartolomeo, who also devoted himself primarily to painting floral still lifes. Between 1671 and 1674, he was a neighbor of Abraham Brueghel and it is possible that he also became his student. This pair of still lifes depicts a number of fruits, modelled with precise finesse, decanters and glasses with drinks. Both still lifes are set in an open landscape with woods and a scintillating bluish sky.

GIOVANNI PAOLO CASTELLI detto LO SPADINO
Est: €3,000 - €5,000
(Roma, 1659 - 1730) Natura morta Olio su tela, cm 45,5X35,2 Databile alla fine del XVII e l'inizio del XVIII secolo, l'opera per chiare motivazioni di stile si assegna ad un autore di scuola romana- la qualità, la stesura e gli aspetti illustrativi permettono infatti di poter esprimere l'attribuzione a Giovanni Paolo Castelli detto Spadino (Roma, 1659 - 1730 ca.). L'esuberanza decorativa barocca, la puntuale descrizione dei frutti e l'ambientazione all'aperto sono indizi inequivocabili, altresì mutuati dagli esempi del Campidoglio e del fiammingo Abraham Brueghel, segnando l'evoluzione della natura morta capitolina del secondo seicento. Sulla sua formazione non si deve tralasciare l'apporto del tedesco Christian Berentz (documentato in Italia dal 1689) in modo particolare per l'attenzione alla regia luministica, che delinea con lucentezza le forme e impreziosisce le tonalità cromatiche. Peculiare al repertorio dell'autore è la capacità di descrivere le superfici seriche dei frutti con straordinaria abilità, ostentando tutta la loro morbidezza, seguendo sì la lezione imparata da Abrahani Brueghel, ma la sua pennellata è più ampia, e anche se priva di quella perfezione cara agli artisti nordici riflette una adesione istintiva e sensuale della bellezza naturale.
