FERRAÙ FENZONI (1562 Faenza 1645) Saint John the Baptist. Circa 1590. Oil on canvas. 32.2 × 25.4 cm. Provenance: - Private collection, Trier, Germany, ca. 1980–2013. - European private collection. Our thanks to Dr Guiseppe Scavizzi who has confirmed the authenticity of this work on the basis of a photograph. He assumes it to be an early work by Ferraù Fenzoni. The painting is auctioned together with a drawing by Ferraù Fenzoni (red chalk, pen and brush and brown ink on paper, 30 × 20.5 cm) with the same motif and the inscription: "Ferrau Fenzonio da Faenza invt. esque...imp. da Fran. Villamena..." --------------- FERRAÙ FENZONI (1562 Faenza 1645) Heiliger Johannes der Täufer. Um 1590. Öl auf Leinwand. 32,2 × 25,4 cm. Provenienz: - Privatsammlung Trier, Deutschland, ca. 1980–2013. - Europäische Sammlung. Dr. Guiseppe Scavizzi bestätigt die Eigenhändigkeit anhand einer Fotografie, wofür wir ihm danken, und vermutet eine Entstehung im Frühwerk von Ferraù Fenzoni. Das Gemälde wird zusammen mit einer Zeichnung (Rötel, Feder und Pinsel in Braun auf Papier, 30 × 20,5 cm) selbigen Motivs und der Inschrift: "Ferrau Fenzonio da Faenza invt. esque...imp. da Fran. Villamena..." von Ferraù Fenzoni versteigert. Die Komposition findet sich ferner in einem Kupferstich von Francesco Villamena (31,9 × 24,4 cm, London, British Museum, Department of prints and drawings, siehe Giuseppe Scavizzi, Nicolas Schwed: Ferraù Fenzoni as a painter / as a draughtsman, Todi 2006, S. 364, Nr. S 5) wiederholt, die 1613 datiert ist. Ferraù Fenzonis künstlerischer Stil bewegt sich zwischen Manierismus und Barock. Seine starke Charakterisierung der Figuren scheint vor allem vom Manierismus der nördlichen Niederlande geprägt, erwähnt seien Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617) und Bartholomäus Spranger (1546–1611). Ihre Arbeiten und die anderer manieristischer Zeitgenossen waren durch Kupferstiche verbreitet und bekannt. Auf diese Weise wurden Künstler wie Fenzoni mit einer modernen Auffassung des Manierismus vertraut, die einen hoch realistischen und expressiven Sinn für das Detail mit fantastischen Kompositionen verband. Ein Vergleich von Kupferstichen aus der Hand von Goltzius mit Arbeiten Fenzonis zeigt einen ähnlichen Hang zur Übertreibung von körperlichen Eigenschaften. Fenzonis Werke sind z. T. geprägt von einer extremen Stilisierung. Die Figuren sind nah am Betrachter bzw. zu ihm gerichtet, ihre Körper werden durch eine starke, schlagschattenartige Beleuchtung betont und vor einem dunklen Hintergrund hervorgehoben; Muskeln, Proportionen und Gestik und Mimik werden überspitzt wiedergegeben, sodass von einem „expressiven Manierismus“ gesprochen werden kann. Hier dargestellt ist Johannes der Täufer als Büsser in der Wüste. Er ist als Halbfigur nach rechts gezeigt. Johannes trägt kinnlanges Haar und Bart. Ein Fell und ein rotes Tuch bekleiden seinen hageren Körper. An seiner Brust lehnt der Kreuzesstab mit weißem Tuch, das die Beschriftung „ECCE“ erkennen lässt. Der Täufer stützt sich auf einen im Vordergrund angedeuteten Felsblock, auf dem eine Schale mit Henkel und Überreste einer Heuschrecke liegen. Ein Heiligenschein hinterfängt sein Haupt. Während Johannes verzückt den Himmel, zu einer Lichterscheinung, blickt, greift er mit der linken Hand an seine Brust und deutet mit der anderen zum Betrachter. Die Wüste wird im Hintergrund durch kargen Bewuchs und schroffe Felsformationen angedeutet.

PROVENANCE Camillo Laderchi, Rome, 1629. ENGRAVED Johan Friedrich Greuter, 1640 (Hollstein 3). LITERATURE G.M. Valgimigli, 'Cenni biografici intorno al Cav. Ferra— Fenzoni Pittore', Atti e memorie della Reggia Deputazione di Storia Patria Romagna, 1877, p. 146. NOTES There is no documentation pertaining to Ferra— Fenzoni's training as an artist. His first known works date from the late 1580s in Rome when he was already in his late twenties, and his most important commission is the small chapel of San Francesco in the Church of Santa Maria in Trastevere. He also collaborated with other artists on commissions in the Vatican, San Giovanni in Laterano and Santa Maria Maggiore. In 1593 he left for Todi in Umbria, where he worked for six years and, in 1599, returned to Faenza. He lived there for the remaining forty-five years of his life, devoting most of his time to drawing rather than painting. This newly discovered copper is one of the very few works executed in the later period of his life. Its small size and refinement are similar to the type of drawings Fenzoni produced at the time. It was painted in 1629 for Camillo Laderchi, a fellow citizen from Faenza then living in Rome. On 30 May 1629 Fenzoni responded as follows in a letter to Laderchi accepting the commission: 'My soul, recognizing the honor your Lordship bestows upon me, gives me the resolution to make this small sketch that I will send to you in Rome, where so many pilgrims live, without considering the danger to paint a commission in my poor state of eyesight' (G.M Valgimigli, loc. cit. ). The picture was engraved by Johan Friedrich Greuter in 1640 (fig. 1), although the engraving is cut slightly on both sides. The rather elaborate space left on the copper for an inscription (recorded on the verso of the copper) was not copied onto the engraving. SALESROOM NOTICE Please note that the illustration for the present lot is incorrectly numbered 138 in the sale catalogue. It should be number 139.
