      May. 03, 2023

      Agostino Verrocchi

      Est: €20,000 - €30,000

      (Rome 1586–1659) Grapes in a basket, melons, pomegranates, apples and figs on a wooden table, oil on canvas, 116 x 189.5 cm, framed Provenance: Private European collection We are grateful to Gianluca Bocchi for confirming the attribution of the present painting on the basis of a photograph. The present painting shows an abundance and rich variety of fruits including red and white grapes in a basket, melons, cherries, pomegranates, apples, quinces and figs arranged on fig leaves on a wooden table in front of a monochromatic dark background. The composition is illuminated by a light source coming in from the front, creating a dramatic play between light and shadow and thereby enhancing the different textures. The linear arrangement is balanced by the leaves expanding vertically into the pictorial space. This still-life is representative of Verrochi’s style, with a clear uniformity in his works. The same compositional techniques and iconographical motifs recur, for example, the split melon and the delicately rendered modelling on the grapes, both of which are seen here in the present painting.   Little is known of the life of Agostino Verrocchi, who was probably active in Rome and Naples during the second quarter of the 17th century. The artist’s activity as a painter of still lifes probably evolved over an extended period, rendering the artist a trait d’union between the first generation of specialists in this field linked to the naturalistic models of Caravaggio or the Master of Hartford, and Michelangelo Cerquozzi, who some scholars have referred to as a student or a close follower of Verrocchio. His works therefore demonstrate an analytical presentation of individual elements, often placed symmetrically in relation to the central axis, and a proto-baroque decorative taste.

    • Agostino Verrocchi, 1586 – 1659
      Dec. 08, 2022

      Agostino Verrocchi, 1586 – 1659

      Est: €17,000 - €20,000

      Tätig überwiegend in Rom.FRÜCHTESTILLLEBEN Öl auf Leinwand. Doubliert. 59,5 x 72,5 cm. Über den Maler ist in der Kunstwissenschaft nur wenig bekannt geworden, wenngleich sich etliche seiner Werke in bedeutenden Sammlungen befinden, wie etwa in der Medici-Villa in Poggio a Caiano. In jüngster Vergangenheit haben wenigstens zwei bedeutende Ausstellungen den Maler gewürdigt, wie etwa „La natura morta al tempo di Caravaggio“ im Musei Capitolini in Rom vom Dezember 1995 bis April 1996. Die weitere Ausstellung „L‘incantesimo dei sensi“ fand 2005 im Museo di Arti Decorative Accorsi-Ometto in Turin statt. In der Forschung sowie in den Ausstellungen wird Verrocchi neben Meistern wie Pietro Paolo Bonzi (1573-1636), Panfilo Nuvolone (1581-1651), Giuseppe Recco (1634-1695) oder Giovan Battista Ruoppolo (1629-1693) gestellt. Das dunkelgrundige Stillleben zeigt im Zentrum helle Trauben am Zweig mit Blättern, daneben Kürbis, Feigen und weitere Baumfrüchte. Diese nebeneinander aufgereiht an einem Steinsockel. Die Beleuchtung von oben lässt die Gegenstände vor dunklem Hintergrund zur Wirkung bringen. (†) Literatur: Publiziert in: Alberto Cottino, Natura silente, Edizione Omega, 2007.
