Giuseppe Nogari
(Venice 1699–1766)
Saint Paul,
oil on canvas, 45 x 35 cm, framed
From his earliest known works, it is evident that Nogari was influenced in particular by the work of Rembrandt, whose drawings Nogari knew from the collection formed by Zaccaria Sagredo. The present painting is a characteristic work in the Dutch Tronie tradition, the translation of which into a more Italianate style Nogari heralded together with his predecessor Pietro Belotti. Nogari would also have known the Rembrandt prints held from 1720 by Anton Maria Zanetti the Elder. By the end of the 1730s Nogari's fame had spread to collectors in Germany, who acquired several works of a predominantly religious nature (all untraced). Between 1736 and 1739 as many as 14 Heads (all untraced) were sent back to Germany by Johan Matthias von der Schulenburg. From 1739 to 1742 Nogari painted four Heads for the Savoy family (Turin, Galleria Sabauda) and then contributed to the decoration of the Palazzo Reale in Turin, with allegories celebrating the glory of his patrons (now divided between the Palazzo Reale and the smaller palace of Stupinigi).
