FRANCESCO BOTTI (attr. a)
Est: €400 - €700
FRANCESCO BOTTI (attr. a) (Firenze, 1640 ; 1710) Testa femminile Olio su tela, cm 39X29 Francesco Botti Ã¨ una delle personalitÃ di maggior spicco della cultura artistica tardo barocca fiorentina e l'opera qui presentata Ã¨ tipica del suo linguaggio, variante di alta qualitÃ di composizioni simili ideate dal maestro Simone Pignoni. Nondimeno, l'artista esprime sin dalle prime opere una orgogliosa autonomia ed un distinto fare pittorico, pur mantenendosi fedele agli stilemi della sua scuola. Si nota altresÃ¬ l'influenza del Furini, autore che condusse anche il Pignoni a creare eleganti immagini di gusto caravaggesco, come si evince osservando la Santa Agnese del Museo Puskin a Mosca e quella giÃ a Monaco in collezione Buerkel, pubblicate da Francesca Baldassari.

Est: €2,400 - €3,500
Francesco Botti (Firenze 1640 - 1711) Porzia Olio su tela 84 x 72 cm Interessante notare che, sebbene il dipinto si connoti per la decisa influenza stilistica di Pignoni, esso non è una copia, bensì una rielaborazione delle figure a mezzo busto del suo maestro. Botti, dopo aver ricevuto una prima educazione sotto la guida del padre Giacinto, entrò nell’atelier di Simone Pignoni, diventandone col tempo suo stretto collaboratore. A conclusione della sua fase di preparazione, fece dei viaggi di formazione, che lo condussero a Venezia dove poteva osservare i grandi artisti del secolo precedente, assimilando contemporaneamente i contributi del conterraneo Sebastiano Mazzoni, presente in laguna, con la sua pittura morbida ed estrosa, nonché il naturalismo estroso e visionario di Antonio Carneo. Dal 1678 operò copiosamente a Firenze producendo pale d’altare e da dipinti da camera con uno stile che col tempo si emancipa dalla lezione di Pignone accorpando la pittura eterea e fumosa di Livio Mehus e Cecco Bravo. Francesco Botti (Florence 1640 - 1711) Portia Oil on canvas 84 x 72 cm Interestingly, although the painting is connoted by Pignoni's decisive stylistic influence, it is not a copy but a reworking of his master's half-length figures.

Francesco Botti (1640 - 1711), Samson and Delilah
Est: €6,000 - €8,000
The scene, cut tightly on the main characters, represents Samson and Delilah. In the foreground, the biblical hero lies asleep on the woman's lap; he still wears his armor and puts his left hand on his helmet. Dalila, very elegantly dressed with a blue cloak and white tunic covered with another rose, takes a lock of his hair and cuts it with scissors. It is the story of the biblical passage in which Delilah, in order to take away Samson's strength, cuts his hair. The painting, after a recent cleaning, has regained strength in the colors, and better legibility; and the state of conservation is good. The painting is unpublished, but a version of this same subject with some minor variations is cataloged in the photo library of the Federico Zeri Foundation, with the attribution to Simone Pignoni.

Francesco Botti: Judith Beheads Holofernes
Est: €7,000 - €10,000
BOTTI, FRANCESCO Florence 1640 - 1711 Title: Judith Beheads Holofernes. Technique: Oil on canvas. Mounting: Relined. Measurement: 73 x 87cm. Frame/Pedestal: Framed. Certificate: F. Berti, Florence, 2016. Provenance: Private ownership, Italy. Loose brushstrokes and a sumptuous style characterise this remarkably charming composition by Francesco Botti, a renowned master among the Florentine painters of the second half of the 17th century. Having worked in the workshop of Simone Pignoni and studied similar representations by the master, Botti tried his hand at this subject, which he repeated several times in the course of his career. The composition presented here, similar to the others known but in landscape format, depicts the moment of victory of the biblical heroine as she holds aloft the macabre trophy, the head of Holofernes. The landscape format enlarges the scenic space and introduces the third figure, the maid Abra.

Francesco Botti, 1640/45 Florenz – 1710/11
Est: €20,000 - €25,000
SAMSON UND Delilah Öl auf Leinwand. 96 x 118 cm. Beigegeben eine Expertise von Dr. Alessandro Delpriori, Universität Florenz. Das Thema aus dem Alten Testamtent, dem Buch der Richter, hat in der Barock-Malerei großen Anklang und Interesse gefunden. Dies vor allem weil nun die Rolle der Frau in der Gesellschaft neu differenziert zu werden begann, was in ähnlichen, meist alttestamentlichen Bildthemen Ausdruck gefunden hat. Gezeigt ist hier die Philisterin Delilah, die dem israelitischen Helden das Haar abschneidet. Der Legende nach behielt der herkulische Samson solange seine Kraft, solange er sein langes Haar hatte. Delilah entlockte ihm dieses Geheimnis und war dadurch in der Lage, ihn zu schwächen. Letztlich jedoch besiegte er die Philister, indem er als Gefangener die Säulen des Tempels zum Einsturz brachte. Das Gemälde zeigt die junge Frau in entschlossener, aber gleichzeitig etwas zögerlicher Haltung, mit kritischem Blick aufmerksam den Schlaf ihres Geliebten prüfend. In der linken Hand hält sie die Schere, die rechte eine Locke des Samson, der mit seinem Haupt auf ihrem Schoß liegt. Die Darstellung ist in einem caravaggeskem Hell-Dunkel gezeigt, was der nächtlichen Situation des Geschehens in passender Weise entspricht. Die Zuweisung an den Künstler, durch beiliegende Expertise erfolgt, ist erst vor nicht allzu langer Zeit möglich geworden, unter anderem durch Auffinden eines weiteren Werkes. Die Schulung Bottis in der Werkstatt seines Lehrers Simone Pignone (1611/14-1698) ist offensichtlich und hat auch dazu geführt, dass ein themengleiches Werk, welches ursprünglich dem Lehrer zugewiesen war, in der Fotothek der Fondazione Zeri als solches aufgenommen wurde. Das vorliegende unveröffentlichte Gemälde lässt sich nun in einem Zusammenhang mit einem etwas kleineren Bild der gleichen Darstellung bringen, dessen Verbleib jedoch unbekannt ist. Der Vergleich beider Bilder zeigt eindeutig auch die hohe Qualität des vorliegenden Werkes, das durch den Experten in den Anfang der 1690er-Jahre datiert wird. Ferner werden Bildvergleiche vorgelegt: Etwa mit dem Gemälde Bottis „Sophonisba“ (Museo Civico di Montepulciano) sowie „Judith und Holofernes“ aus einer Privatsammlung. Provenienz: Ehemals Privatsammlung Italien. (12417520) (11) Francesco Botti, 1640/45 Florence – 1710/11 SAMSON AND DELILAH Oil on canvas. 96 x 118 cm. Accompanied by an expert‘s report by Dr Alessandro Delpriori, University of Florence. It has only recently been possible to identify the artist of the painting on offer for sale in this lot - i.a. due to the discovery of another painting - as pointed out in the enclosed expert‘s report. Botti trained in the workshop of Simone Pignone (1611/14-1698) and his teacher‘s influence on his oeuvre is obvious as another painting with the same subject was originally attributed to Pignone and is listed as such at the photo library of the Federico Zeri Foundation. The hitherto unpublished painting on offer for sale in this lot, can now be seen in connection with a slightly smaller painting of the same subject, however, its current whereabouts is unknown. The comparison of both paintings clearly shows the high quality of the painting on offer for sale in this lot dated by the expert to the early 1690s. The report also lists other examples for comparison such as Botti‘s Sophonisba (Museo Civico di Montepulciano) and Judith and Holofernes from a private collection. Provenance: Formerly private collection, Italy.
