Giuseppe Nogari
}.webp', extensionName: 'dorotheum')})
(Venice 1699–1766)
A girl adorned with flowers, with a lap dog on her arm,
oil on canvas, 54 x 43 cm, framed
Nogari, who is mentioned as a member of the Venetian Painter’s Guild from 1726 onwards, has been traditionally considered a pupil of Antonio Balestra, although Giovanni Battista Piazzetta would seem to be more likely as his teacher. In Nogari’s earliest known works, the four Heads (before 1736: Stockholm National Museum), which he executed for the patron and collector Count Carl Gustav Tessin, the influence of Rosalba Carriera’s portraits appears clearly. This influence is also evident in the present painting belonging to Nogari’s series of decorative heads - not intended to be portraits - which Rosalba Carriera and Pietro Rotari had made into the brand of Venetian painting. The National Gallery of Slovenia preserves a very similar specimen of almost identical format (oil on canvas, 53.7 x 43.5 cm) representing a young girl holding a dove. It is most likely that the aforementioned painting and the present work were created as pendants or that they belonged to a series that possibly depicted virtues and vices.
