(Firenze, 1607 - 1675) San Giovanni Battista Olio su tela, cm 62X49 Il dipinto presenta caratteri di stile che suggeriscono la sua genesi fiorentina e accenti che evocano pertinenti confronti con il pittore Vincenzo Dandini. L'artista si formì inizialmente con il fratello Cesare, frequentì il Passignano e Matteo Rosselli, risultando iscritto all'Accademia del Disegno nel 1631.Decise poi di compiere il viaggio d'istruzione a Roma, dove, tra il 1635 e il 1636 lo sappiamo partecipe della bottega di Pietro da Cortona. Attratto inizialmente dalla lezione barocca romana, dal classicismo emiliano insaporito dalle sensualità del Furini, Dandini si accosterà gradualmente agli ideali spirituali neo-savonaroliani, che nella tarda maturità lo condussero a eseguire dipinti improntati su una spiritualità scevra di patetismi devozionali.

Vincenzo DANDINI Florence, 1609 - 1675 Le sacrifice à Vesta Huile sur toile The sacrifice to Vesta, oil on canvas, by V. Dandini h: 120 w: 103 cm Provenance : Galerie Terrades, Paris, en 2015 ; Acquis auprès de celle-ci par l'actuel propriétaire ; Collection particulière européenne Commentaire : Formé dans l'atelier florentin de son frère Cesare puis auprès de Passignano, Matteo Rosseli et Andrea Commodi, Vincenzo Dandini rejoint tardivement celui de Pietro da Cortona à Rome en 1635 pour un court séjour de deux ans. Il sera un collaborateur précieux pour son maître romain lorsque ce dernier obtiendra l'immense chantier de décoration du palais Pitti qui ne cesse de nous étonner aujourd'hui encore et dont l'audace constitua une source d'inspiration pour les peintres parisiens de décors au milieu du XVIIe siècle. La carrière de Vincenzo Dandini est plus sage que celle de Pietro da Cortona et se traduit par la réalisation de grandes pale d'altare pour les églises ou des commandes de la famille Médicis (décor de la villa La Petraia ou projets de tapisseries). Notre sacrifice à Vesta reflète l'influence de la grande tradition romaine sur le peintre florentin. Traitée comme pourrait l'être un relief sculpté, notre composition s'impose par son élégant format et sa construction en diagonale, guidée par le regard du jeune homme en tunique rouge en bas à droite vers le joueur de flûte en haut à gauche, direction que le mouvement des mains de la vestale accentue et dynamise. Les musiciens accompagnent le sacrifice, l'agneau attend son heure, les objets rituels en or traduisent l'importance du culte à Vesta sur l'autel de laquelle brûle le feu qui jamais ne s'éteint. Le culte de Vesta fut institué par Numa Pompilius au VIIe siècle av. J.-C., les Romains l'honoraient publiquement le 7 juin lors des fêtes appelées les Vestalia. Déesse du foyer, de la patrie, du feu sacré intérieur et de la terre elle-même, fille de Cronos et Rhéa, elle est la sœur de Jupiter. Son culte était confié à six vestales, prêtresses vierges qui entretenaient le feu qui jamais ne devait s'éteindre dans le seul temple situé sur le forum, symbolisant ainsi le cœur de Rome. Ce feu représentait la permanence de l'Empire et son culte était étroitement lié au pouvoir politique. Les vestales étaient choisies âgées de 6 et 10 ans parmi les filles d'importantes familles patriciennes. Elles officiaient sous la protection du pontifex maximus (chef religieux de Rome dont l'empereur assumera les fonctions après la République), vivant dans l'atrium vestae, à côté du temple et de la Regia, demeure du pontifex maximus. Symboles de pureté et d'exemplarité, les vestales devaient rester vierges et servir trente années avant de pouvoir rejoindre la vie civile et se marier. Vincenzo Dandini a du admirer à Rome la fresque illustrant La fondation du culte de Vesta que le cavalier d'Arpin réalisa vers 1636-1640. Notre tableau peint au début des années 1640 témoigne de l'influence de la Rome antique pour tout artiste qui séjourne dans la ville éternelle. Quelles sont néanmoins les libertés prises par l'artiste dans son tableau alors que l'ensemble des textes antiques établissent que le suffibulum (tenue des vestales pour sacrifier) était un vêtement blanc et long, à bordure, porté sur la tête et fermé par une fibule ? Initially trained in his brother Cesare's Florentine studio before studying with Matteo Rosselli and Andrea Commodi, Vincenzo Dandini then joined Pietro da Cortona's studio in Rome in 1635 for a short period of two years. Dandini proved to be a precious assistant for his Roman master when he received the huge commission to decorate the Palazzo Pitti, which is still surprising today. Its audacity would constitute a source of inspiration for Parisian decorative painters of the mid -17th century. Vincenzo Dandini's career was more settled than that of Pietro da Cortona and is characterized by the creation of large altar pieces for churches and commissions from the Medici family (such as the decoration of the villa La Petraia and creation of tapestry designs). Our 'Sacrifice to Vesta' reflects the influence of the grand Roman tradition on Florentine painting. Treated like a sculpted relief, our composition is interesting for its elegant format and construction on diagonal lines, guided by the gaze of the young man in a red tunic in the lower right, who is looking towards the flute player in the upper left, a movement emphasized by the vestal's hands. Musicians accompany the sacrifice, while the lamb patiently waits for its hour and the gold ritual objects illustrate the importance of the Vestal's worship on whose altar burned a fire that was never extinguished. The worship of Vesta was established by Numa Pompilius in the 7th century B.C., and the Romans honoured her publicly on 7 June, during festivities called the Vestalia. The goddess of the hearth, the homeland, the internal sacred fire and of the earth itself, daughter of Cronos and Rhea, she is Jupiter's sister. Her worship was led by six vestals, virgin priestesses who maintained the fire that was never allowed to go out in the only temple located in the forum, thus symbolising the heart of Rome. This fire represented the permanence of the Empire and her cult was closely connected to political power. The vestals were chosen between the ages of 6 and 10 among the daughters of important patrician families. They officiated under the protection of the pontifex maximus (the religious leader of Rome whose functions the emperor took over after the republic) and lived in the atrium vestae, beside the temple and the Regia, the residence of the pontifex maximus. Symbols of purity and exemplarity, the vestals had to remain virgins and serve for thirty years before being able to join civil life and get married. Vincenzo Dandini must have admired in Rome the fresco illustrating Numa Pompilius Instituting the Cult of the Vestals made by the Cavaliere d'Arpino around 1636-1640. Our piece, painted in the early 1640s, illustrates the influence of ancient Rome on any artist visiting the city. Nevertheless, what liberties were taken by the Dandini in our painting, since all the ancient texts state that the suffibulum (costume worn by the vestals when making a sacrifice) was a long white dress with a border, worn on the head and closed by a fibula?

Vincenzo Dandini, 1607 Florenz – 1675, zug. ALLEGORIE DER KÜNSTE Öl auf Leinwand. 125 x 85 cm. Vincenzo Dandini, sein Bruder Cesare und ihr Neffe Pietro gehörten zwischen 1650 und 1710 zu den einflussreichsten Malern der toskanischen Kunstszene. Nach seinen Lehrjahren im Umfeld von Passignano und Matteo Rosselli ging Vincenzo nach Rom und wurde dort von 1635 bis 1636 Schüler von Pietro da Cortona. Der Aufenthalt in Rom war sehr wichtig für seine maltechnische Entwicklung, einem Mix aus Einflüssen, neben denen seines Lehrers, von Malern seines Umfelds wie Giacinto Gimignani und Giovanni Francesco Romanelli, aber auch Poussin und Guido Reni. Zurück in Florenz beschäftigte er sich mit den Werken seines älteren Bruders Cesare, denen von Furini, Curradi und Lorenzo Lippi und schuf so eine interessante Mischung aus römischen, bologneser und florentinischen Stilelementen. An diesem hochwertigen Gemälde erkennt man deutlich die Originalität von Vincenzo Dandini, der hier eine seiner seltenen Allegorie schuf, was eigentlich eher das Genre seines Bruders Cesare war. Im Mittelpunkt des Gemäldes steht eine Frauengestalt, die typisch für die Ikonografie der florentinischen Kunst Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts war: sie ist stolz, mysteriös, leicht melancholisch und etwas kühl distanziert. In dieser plastischen Figur mit dem Lorbeerkranz vereinen sich die drei dargestellten zeichnerischen Künste Malerei, Bildhauerei und Architektur ganz nach den Vorstellungen Vasaris. Die Figur ist dynamisch, der Faltenwurf und die Stoffe sind trefflich dargestellt und die Hell-Dunkel-Kontraste werden durch die Abendstimmung noch verstärkt. Das Gemälde lässt sich gut mit anderen Werken von Vincenzo Dandini vergleichen, wie zum Beispiel der "Juno" in der Sammlung Mark Fehrs Haukohl (S. Bellesi, Vincenzo Dandini, Pisa 2003, Nr. 9, S. 83-84) und dem "Ganymed" in der Galleria di Palazzo degli Alberti in Prato (ebenda, Nr. 25, S. 102-103). (10216411) (21) Vincenzo Dandini, 1607 Florence – 1675, attributed ALLEGORY OF THE ARTS Oil on canvas. 125 x 85 cm. Vincenzo Dandini, his brother Cesare and their nephew Pietro were among the most influential painters of the Tuscan art scene between 1650 and 1710. After his apprenticeship in the circle of Passignano and Matteo Rosselli, Vincenzo relocated to Rome where he became a student of Pietro da Cortona between 1635 and 1636. His stay in Rome was very important for the further development of his painting technique. This high quality painting speaks with great clarity of Vincenzo Dandini’s originality, creating, on this occasion, one of his rare allegories, a genre usually associated with his brother Cesare. The centre of the painting depicts a female figure, typical of 17th century Florentine iconography: she is proud, mysterious, slightly melancholy and a little reserved. This sculptural figure with laurel wreath combines the three Visual Arts – painting, sculpture and architecture – entirely in accordance with Vasari’s ideas. The figure is dynamic, the falling of the folds and the fabrics is depicted with virtuosity and the evening atmosphere intensifies the chiaroscuro. The painting easily lends itself to comparison with other works by Vincenzo Dandini such as “Juno” held at the Mark Fehrs Haukohl Collection (S. Bellesi, Vincenzo Dandini, Pisa 2003, no. 9. pp. 83–84) and the “Ganymede” held at the Galleria di Palazzo degli Alberti in Prato (ibid, no. 25, pp. 102–103).

LITERATURE S. Bellesi, Tendenze e Orientamenti Naturalistici nella Pittura Fiorentina del Prima Metà del Seicento "Luce e Ombra. Caravaggismo e Naturalismo nella pittura Toscana del Seicento," Pontedera - Pisa 2005, pp. 41-73, p. 58 ff., under no. 32, reproduced. NOTE This recently rediscovered picture is a quarter-length portrait of the goddess Diana by Vincenzo Dandini, the brother of the painter Cesare Dandini. Bellesi dates it to circa 1630-1635 (see Literature), and compares it to Dandini's Portrait of Bettona (see S. Bellesi, Vincenzo Dandini, Pisa 2003, p. 78, cat. no. 5, reproduced p. 79). Dandini worked on a large number of Medici commissions for mythological themes in various media, such as the fresco depicting the Adoration of Niobe, and Venus, Mercury and Cupid, now in the Uffizi, Florence. These commissions may have sparked the artist's interest in such depiction of ancient deities.
