Roman School, early 17th Century
Ceres and Bacchus,
oil on canvas, 107 x 91 cm, framed
Provenance:
European Private Collection
The present painting is a rare example of Roman still life with figures dating from the beginning of the seventeenth century, ante 1630. The fruits, especially melons, peaches, pears, pomegranates, figs and grapes, are arranged in a balanced but varied pattern on a stone ledge, and they are painted with a great interest in naturalism together with strong contrasts of light and dark. Similar compositional patterns and characters can be seen in the Roman Caravaggesque still-life tradition, as in the works of the Master of the Acquavella Still Life, Tommaso Salini and Agostino Verrocchi.
An attribution to Pietro Paolo Bonzi, called Gobbo dei Carracci (Cortona c. 1576- Rome 1636) has been suggested by Dr. Andrea G. De Marchi
