Francesco Celebrano (Napoli 1729 - 1814) attribuito
Est: €4,000 - €6,000
Francesco Celebrano (Napoli 1729 - 1814) attribuito Sara conduce Agar da Abramo Olio su tela 75 x 95 cm Personaggio eclettico nella sua vita fu rinomato scultore, pittore presso la corte borbonica e direttore dei modellatori della Real Fabbrica di porcellane a Capodimonte. Come pittore fu inizialmente del Solimena, la sua prima produzione avvertiva l'influenza del maestro, aggiornata ai modi di Giuseppe Bonito e Francesco De Mura. Dagli anni '60 del XVIII secolo volse ad un cromatismo più chiaro e luminoso dovuto all'influenza di Corrado Giaquinto, tornato a Napoli dalla Spagna nel 1761. In questo periodo, grazie alla sua bravura e preparazione, Celebrano compì le sue opere più importanti, annodando sapientemente ricordi solimeneschi con influssi romani di Carlo Maratta e il cristallino cromatismo ispirato da Giaquinto. Gli esempi più espliciti sono la decorazione delle volte di Palazzo Sangro a Napoli, le tele della Collegiata di Santa Maria delle Grazie a Cerreto Sannita e i lavori per la Parrocchia di San Salvatore Telesino, nel beneventano. Francesco Celebrano (Naples 1729 - 1814) attributed Sara Leads Hagar to Abraham Oil on canvas 75 x 95 cm

Francesco Celebrano, The Personification of Sight and The Personification of Smell
Est: £3,000 - £4,000
Francesco Celebrano, Italian 1729-1814- The Personification of Sight; and The Personification of Smell; oils on panel, each bear handwritten label 'BRUNARD' on the reverse, each 65.5 x 42 cm., a pair (2). Provenance: An important Private Collection, UK. Note: We are grateful to Professor Nicola Spinosa for confirming the attribution of the present lot. Neapolitan painter and sculptor Francesco Celebrano was royal painter to the court of King Ferdinand IV of Naples (1751-1825). Nicola Spinosa dates the present works to the artist's early maturity, between 1770 and 1775. Indeed, their elegance, colour and form are typical of his compositions, with the latter especially noticeable here in the treatment of the figures' overtly muscular arms and legs. It is likely that three other related panels - depicting the other senses of touch, taste, and hearing - exist. For particularly close comparison, notably of the central figures and putti, see the pair of allegories in oil which appeared at Christie's, New York, 3 June 2015, lot 34. For more information on Celebrano, see N. Spinosa, 'Pittura napoletana del Settecento dal Rococò al Classicismo', Naples, 1993.

FRANCESCO CELEBRANO
Est: €2,000 - €3,000
(Napoli, 1729 - 1814) Erminia tra i pastori Olio su tela, cm 43,9X54,7 Provenienza: Collezione privata Bibliografia: Fondazione Famiglia Terruzzi. Villa Regina Margherita, guida al Museo, a cura di A. Scarpa e M. Lupo, Milano 2011, p. 101, fig. 29 GiÃ riferito a Francesco De Mura, il dipinto Ã¨ stato ricondotto alla mano di Francesco Celebrano da Nicola Spinosa. L'Artista, formatosi alla scuola di Francesco Solimena in sintonia con Francesco de Mura, fu uno dei principali interpreti del RococÃ² partenopeo. Aggraziato idealisticamente e privo di tensioni drammatiche secondo la cultura del tempo, la sua arte esprime un classicismo modulato, che lo condusse a realizzare immagini con un sapiente chiaroscuro, figure in atteggiamenti solenni e dall'impostazione monumentale. L'elegante piacevolezza delle sue creazioni scaturisce da impaginazioni e cromie atte a evocare vitalitÃ e movimento, specialmente quando affronta ampie superfici. Dal punto di vista dello stile, la tela si data alla giovinezza, in analogia con la demuriana composizione giÃ ` da Sotheby's (olio su tela, cm 127X177,8 esitata il 13 marzo 1963 lotto 39- Fototeca Zeri n. 65412) segnando l'iniziale processo d'emancipazione esprimendo una verve sentimentale piÃ¹ intima e antieroica, in linea con il rinnovato sentimento arcadico della sua epoca. Ringraziamo Nicola Spinosa per l'attribuzione del dipinto. Bibliografia di riferimento: N. Spinosa in CiviltÃ del Settecento (1734-1799), Napoli, 1980, p. 276, figg. 11-146 N.
