About the Item

Domenichino, actually Domenico Zampieri (after) Bologna 1581 – 1641 Naples Rinaldo and Armida in Armida's Enchanted Garden, circa 1700 Oil on canvas (doubled) Size: 80 x 138 cm Frame: 115 x 173 cm Written confirmation of authenticity and age Provenance: From an old winery in the Rheingau region, owned there for generations. Domenichino was an Italian painter and fresco artist of the Bolognese school who worked mainly in Rome and its surroundings and in Naples. Alongside Guido Reni, he was an important representative of Baroque classicism. Domenichino was the most respected artist in Rome in the second and third decades of the 17th century after Reni's departure, and after 1620 alongside Lanfranco. Domenichino's classical style was inspired primarily by Annibale Carracci and Raphael's Stanze in the Vatican, as well as by his study of antiquity. In contrast to Reni, he combined this with a certain loveliness and sweetness in his female, child, and angel figures, for which he drew inspiration from Correggio and Parmigianino. However, he did not adopt Correggio's sfumato technique; Domenichino's drawing is clearer and his use of color is more reminiscent of the Venetian school, especially Titian. His style always exudes a certain naturalness, especially in his frescoes, even if his figures sometimes appear somewhat rigid. Towards the end of the 1620s, and even more so in his works in the Cappella del Tesoro in Naples, a shift towards the more dynamic Baroque style becomes noticeable. His greatest strength lay in the idyllic landscapes inspired by Annibale Carracci, which are populated by mostly religious or mythological figures. His landscapes had a direct influence on younger artists such as Claude Lorrain and Gaspar Dughet; Nicolas Poussin, who also owed him a great deal, was among Domenichino's admirers. The many commissions and Domenichino's notoriously slow pace of work made it increasingly necessary to enlist the help of his workshop, including Antonio Barbalonga from Messina, whose hand could be identified in the decoration of the Cappella Merenda in Santa Maria della Vittoria and in St. Francis in Ecstasy in Santa Maria della Concezione.

Hercules and Omphale Oil on panel, 52 x 41 cm According to legend, Hercules had to make atonement and became a slave to the Lydian queen Omphale. When she found out who her slave was, she married him. Falling for his mistress and made effeminate by the luxury of court life, the former hero allowed himself to become the laughing stock of the court. He dressed in women's clothes, spun wool and did other women's work, whereas Omphale wore his lion's skin and carried a wooden club. When the time of punishment was over, the hero realised his delusion and left Omphale. So far, the painting could not be clearly assigned to an artist. Nevertheless, it impresses with its fluid and convincing painting, whose colourfulness and conception are reminiscent of the Prague School around Bartholomäus Spranger. This work follows an engraving and an etching made by Michel Dorigny in 1643 after a design by Simon Vouet. It shows the same scene but the print differs in minor details from the present painting (see e.g. the head of the lion) and the treatment of the faces seems to be painted more detailed and refined. So far there is no painting...

Located in brussel, BE

Willem Muys was a Dutch, 18th-century painter of history pieces, portraits and cabinet pieces. Above all, he appears to have been active as a painter of ‘wallpaper’. Until the mid-18th century, ‘wallpaper’ was not painted on paper but on coarsely woven linen. Wealthy citizens had their mansions or country estates adorned with ‘wallpaper’ with landscapes, exotic birds or chinoiseries. Willem Muys mainly painted ‘wallpaper’, which means that few of his works have been preserved. They are hardly represented in public collections. The works of his sons, Nicolaas en Robbert, both painters, are a little less rare. The painting with Rebecca and Eliezer...
