      STEFANO TORELLI (attr. a)

      Est: €1,500 - €2,500

      (Bologna, 1712 ; San Pietroburgo, 1784) Allegoria delle stagioni Olio su tela, cm 42X33 (4) Provenienza: Collezione privata Recanti un'attribuzione collezionistica a Stefano Torelli, i dipinti sono verosimilmente dei bozzetti e raffigurano le allegorie delle stagioni. Figlio e allievo di Felice Torelli, artista di origini veronesi ma attivo a Bologna e di Lucia Casalini anch'essa pittrice, Stefano durante i primi anni della carriera lavorò nella bottega familiare e la prima committenza di rilievo si ha intorno alla metà del quarto decennio da parte del cardinale Ruffo, all'epoca vescovo di Ferrara. L'opera destinata alla cattedrale, e ancora in loco, raffigura San Filippo Neri che ha la visione dello Spirito Santo in cui l'autore attesta la propria autonomia di mestiere, esibendo una pittura più fluida e ariosa rispetto a quella paterna, con chiare influenze della pittura veneta. Questa nuova sonorità si deve verosimilmente al documentato soggiorno lagunare da parte dello Zanotti, che nel 1739 attesta Torelli 'presentemente' a Venezia, ove 'dipigne così a fresco come a olio con molto su' onore' (Zanotti, 1739, p. 88). Nulla, purtroppo, è stato finora rintracciato di questa ultima fase di attività italiana, che dovette tuttavia includere anche un soggiorno a Napoli e uno a Roma (Cfr. Graziani 2019). A questo momento si dovrebbero di conseguenza collocare le opere in esame, in cui su un substrato felsineo si evidenzia una fresca cromia veneta, altresì evidenziata da una spigliata conduzione pittorica.

Polonie Pictor./ Fecit oil on canvas, in its original carved and gilt wood frame, carved with the initials CA on the crest PROVENANCE Anonymous sale, Berlin, Graupe, 27-28 May 1935, lot 145, whence acquired by the grandfather of the owners from whom it was confiscated by the Russian army of occupation and transferred to the Museum in Magdeburg; Restituted to the family in 2001 and sold by one of the heirs ("The Property of a Nobleman"), London, Sotheby's, 18 April 2002, lot 122, where acquired by the present collector. LITERATURE V. Thorlacius Ussing, "Stefano Torelli", in Kunstmuseets Årsskrift, 1964-65, pp. 35 and 46, footnotes 62 and 63; I. Graziani, La bottega dei Torelli. Da Bologna alla Russia di Caterina la Grande, Bologna 2005, pp. 289-90, cat. no. 74, reproduced, and reproduced in colour p. 144. NOTE Charlotte Amalie was born in Plön in 1744, the daughter of Duke Friedrich Karl von Schleswig-Holstein Sonderburg Plön (1706-1761) and Christine Armgard Duchess of Reventlow (1711-1779). A portrait of the family of Duke Friedrich by Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder and dated 1759, in Frederiksborg Castle, Denmark (reproduced in Johann Heinrich Tischbein d.A., exhibition catalogue, Kassel, Neue Galerie, 25 November 1989 - 11 February 1990, pp. 113-4, plate 19), shows a similar likeness of Charlotte Amalie, depicted full-length and holding a parasol. The identity of the sitter is also confirmed by the monogram CA on the crest of the original frame. It is highly plausible that Torelli's portrait was commissioned three years after Tischbein's painting, to mark the occasion of the sitter's marriage on 26 May 1762 to Friedrich Christian, reigning Duke of Schleswig-Holstein Sonderburg, at Schloß Reinfeld, near Lübeck. Indeed the painting is stylistically consistent with other portraits of the Danish nobility, most notably the Portrait of Heinrich Carl Schimmelmann and his wife Countess Caroline Tugenreich Schimmelman in Reventlow-Museet, Pederstrup (on deposit in Ny Carlsbergfondet), which must pre-date April 1762 (see Graziani, under Literature, pp. 287-88, cat. nos. 71 and 72, both reproduced). The portrait evidently enjoyed some success for a number of copies are recorded in Denmark by Thorlacius Ussing (see Literature): two in the Frederiksborg Museum, Copenhagen (inv. 4128 and 4635), and two in private hands. Torelli is known to have worked in Lübeck in the early 1760s. He painted ten allegorical works for the Town Hall as well as a number of portraits, including that of Count Chasot dated 1762, now in the City Library. Towards the end of 1762 the artist moved to Saint Petersburg, where he became one of the principal portrait painters to Catherine the Great.
