Lot description
oil on canvas 128 x 155 cm within an ancient frame PROVENANCE EXHIBITIONS LITERATURE The painting offered in this lot is comparable to the one exhibited in the exhibition Ritorno al Barocco, da Caravaggio a Vanvitelli (Naples, December 12, 2009 - April 11, 2010, p. 426, cat. 1,251), now in a private collection. In both paintings, the twilight light is pierced at the center by the colors of flowers of every variety spill from an ancient and decorated vase. The large thistle leaf in the foreground lit by an intense shaft of light is in contrast to the area below, shrouded in darkness. This masterful play of light and shadow recalls the artist’s theatrical activity, to which he devoted himself entirely during the last thirty years of his life.
