Giovanni Lanfranco Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Etcher, b. 1582 - d. 1647

Giovanni Lanfranco (26 January 1582 – 30 November 1647) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period.

Giovanni Gaspare Lanfranco was born in Parma, the third son of Stefano and Cornelia Lanfranchi, and was placed as a page in the household of Count Orazio Scotti. His talent for drawing allowed him to begin an apprenticeship with the Bolognese artist Agostino Carracci, brother of Annibale Carracci, working alongside fellow Parmese Sisto Badalocchio in the local Farnese palaces. When Agostino died in 1602, both young artists moved to Annibale's large and prominent Roman workshop, which was then involved in working on the Galleria Farnese in the Palazzo Farnese gallery ceiling. Lanfranco is considered to have contributed to the panel of Polyphemus and Galatea (replica in Doria Gallery) and some minor works in the room.

Afterwards, while still technically a member of the Carracci studio of Carracci, Lanfranco, along with Guido Reni and Francesco Albani, frescoed the Herrera (San Diego) Chapel in San Giacomo degli Spagnoli (1602–1607). He also participated in the fresco decoration of San Gregorio Magno and of the Cappella Paolina in Santa Maria Maggiore.

            NEAPOLITANISCHER MEISTER IN DER ART DES GIOVANNI LANFRANCO, 1582 – 1647

            Est: €7,000 - €9,000

            ANBETUNG DER KÖNIGE Öl auf Leinwand. 87 x 66 cm. Das Gemälde weist Elemente auf, die an den genannten Lanfranco erinnern. Vor allem die dichtgedrängten Figuren, die in einem pyramidalen Kompositionsaufbau geordnet erscheinen. Dabei zeigen sich hier die geneigten Körper der Könige auffällig parallel und weisen damit auf das Zentrum der Darstellung. Damit führen alle Bildelemente hin zum Jesuskind. Auch die Lichtführung entspricht dieser Komposition, wodurch Maria und Kind hervorgehoben erscheinen. Ähnlichen Bildaufbau zeigt Lanfrancos „Ekstase der seligen Marghereta“ von 1622 (Palazzo Pitti). A.R. Lanfranco hat nach seinem Aufenthalt in Rom zwölf Jahre in Neapel gewirkt, schuf etwa im Dom 1741-42 ein Kuppelfresko, und übte auf eine Reihe von Malern erheblichen Einfluss aus. (14111218) (11)

            Giovanni Lanfranco: Study to Male Hands

            Est: €3,000 - €6,000

            LANFRANCO, GIOVANNI 1582 Parma - 1647 Rome Title: Study to Male Hands. Technique: Black pen on paper. Mounting: Mounted. Measurement: 35 x 25,5cm. Frame: Framed. Provenance: Collection Erich Schleier, Berlin. The present work by Giovanni Lanfranco is the most personal sheet from Erich Schleier's estate. The connection between him and the artist is indissoluble and enduring: Lanfranco was the artist to whom Schleier dedicated his entire life from the time of his master's thesis. Countless exhibition catalogues, articles, scientific essays, lectures, etc. were dedicated to this painter, who worked between Parma, Rome and Naples. Lanfranco became a kind of alter ego of Erich Schleier, whose artistic and biographical events over the course of Schleier's career were precisely and rigorously reconstructed. This study drawing of three hands is a typical example of Lanfranco's mature graphic style, which is particularly shared in his detailed studies. Today, the series of comparable works is distributed among the drawing cabinets of the Florentine Uffizi, the Museo Capodimonte in Naples, the Royal Library in Windsor Castle, the Istituto Centrale per la Grafica in Rome and the Kunstmuseum in Düsseldorf (see E. Schleier, Disegni di Giovanni Lanfranco, Florence 1983, pp. 7-12). The drawing is an exact study of the hands of the apostle Paul, which were painted together with the other apostles and Carthusian saints on the sides of the windows of the nave of the Carthusian monastery of St Martin in Naples in 1637. That year, Don Isidoro de Alegria, the Father Procurator of the Order, commissioned Lanfranco to paint various spotlights and figures on the vault of the nave, the choir and the entrance walls of the Charterhouse. The programme culminated in the Resurrection of Christ and kept the painter busy until early 1639. The numerous preparatory drawings document the difficulty and commitment he put into this work. Although it caused the artist many problems, today it is rightly regarded as his most successful project in Naples, together with the paintings on the dome of the Gesù Nuovo (1634-1635) and the frescoes on the Holy Apostles (1638-1646). The lower part of the sheet shares the two preliminary studies of the right hand of St Paul holding the book. The upper part of the sheet shows the study of a left hand falling downwards while the arm rests on the sword. In its robust, energetic and painterly style, the sheet represents a characteristic example of the artist's Neapolitan period, which is "characterised by a neglect of the linear definition of the contours of forms that are classically meant (...) and can be recognised as the expression of a completely new and revolutionary pictorialism", to quote the extremely precise analysis provided for this study by Erich Schleier (op. cit. 1983, p. 13) in his fundamental catalogue of Lanfranco's drawings in the Uffizi. We are grateful to Simonetta Prosperi Valenti, Rome, for confirming the attribution of the present drawing on the basis of a high-resolution digital photograph and for her help cataloguing it.

            Oil on canvas measurements: 135 x 100 cm. 142 x 106 cm framed. No frame attached. Lanfranco first studied in his hometown with Agostino Carracci and after his death he moved to Rome where in 1602 he entered the workshop of Annibale Carracci, becoming, together with Domenichino, a frequent collaborator of the great Bolognese master. Upon the death of Annibale Carracci, Lanfranco returned to Parma for a few years (1610-12), a fruitful period of his artistic training, in which he undoubtedly discovered the value of Correggio's frescoes, whose impact would be decisive for his elaboration of the illusionistic space and the intense emotionalism that then invades its figures. Correggio's mark is already evident in the dome of the Buogiovanni chapel in the Roman church of Sant' Agostino (1616) or in the "Ecstasy of Saint Margaret of Cortona" (1620), today in the Pitti Palace in Florence, which is It became the prototype of the Baroque altar painting, as well as the frescoes in the dome of Sant'Andrea della Valle (1625-27), Lanfranco's masterpiece in Rome, which determined the development of Italian decorative painting. In 1634, the artist moved to Naples, where he remained until 1646, carrying out the grandiose fresco projects in the Gesù Nuovo (1635-37), the Charterhouse of San Martino (1637-38), the vault of SS. Apostoli (1638-46) and in the chapel of San Jenaro in the Cathedral (1641-43), works whose influence extends through Mattia Preti, Luca Giordano and Filippo Beinaschi well into the 18th century. In 1646, Lanfranco returned to Rome, where he died the following year. The artist's surviving drawings are numerous and most are in the collection of Windsor Palace; In them the influence of Correggio is evident in the luminous dissolution of the line and in the search for pictorial effects (Mena, M.: Catalog of drawings, VI, Italian drawings of the 17th century, Museo del Prado, 1983, p. 109) .

            Attributed to Giovanni Lanfranco (Parma, 1582 – Rome, 1647) - Sleeping Venus with two cupids

            Est: €50,000 - €80,000

            oil painting on canvas 123 x 175 cm Photographic references Zeri Photo Library, sheet no. 51054 (as Giovanni Lanfranco in a private Piedmontese collection, 1983) The painting is cataloged in the Zeri Photo Library archive as a work by Giovanni Lanfranco (card no. 51054). Stylistically the work finds a compelling comparison with the Death of Cleopatra , today in Palazzo Barberini: the modern beauty of Cleopatra's body, solidly sculpted and almost reduced to elegant solid-geometric shapes, is the same as the Venus, gently stretched out to occupy the entire diagonal of the painting. The similarity of the features of the two faces also does not go unnoticed, suggesting it could be the same model. Certainly the model of our Venus is the same one used by Lanfranco for the Armida depicted, always reclining, in the painting Rinaldo's greeting to Armida (file 11 in Giovanni Lanfranco. A painter baroque between Parma, Rome and Naples, exhibition catalog edited by E. Schleier, Milan 2001, p. 280). The same subject is also found in the Sleeping Venus with two putti in a landscape, performed by  Lanfranco in 1632-34 and preserved at the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin (Texas); this work has been identified with the painting described several times in the Barberini inventories, including that of the assets of Maffeo Barberini, drawn up after 1672, which lists "a long Venus sleeping with two long Cupids, 5 and high p.mi 3 approximately with smooth golden frame by the hand of Lanfranchi" (card 84 in Giovanni Lanfranco. A baroque painter between Parma, Rome and Naples, exhibition catalog edited by E. Schleier, Milan 2001, p. 280). Compared to this painting, ours has a different composition: Venus is reclining from right to left and the two putti,  intent on delicately covering the sleeping goddess, they close the scene from two opposite positions, one at the top right and the other at the bottom left; in the painting in the American museum the cupids are next to each other and, from behind, observe the goddess. Finally, it should be noted that the Venus of Austin presents a face that is stylistically atypical for Lanfranco's production which, however, in the painting offered in the lot is characteristic of the master's style.

            The body of dead Abel

            Est: €6,000 - €8,000

            Oil on canvas 74x84 cm. The scene fixes a moment devoid of action, and therefore very rarely depicted in painting, in the dramatic story of the killing of Abel by his brother Cain (Genesis, 4:1-15). The artist here focuses exclusively on the display of Abel's lifeless naked body lying on the ground, while usually the moment of the murder is chosen, when Cain raises his arm against his brother with a donkey's jaw, or, in the alternative, the mourning of the progenitors at the discovery of their son's corpse: and it is precisely the animal jaw in the foreground that allows us to identify the subject of the canvas with certainty. The painting speaks a pictorial language in which post-Carraccesque Bolognese stimuli (particularly related to Ludovico) and Roman elements converge, at a chronological height between the third and fourth decades of the seventeenth century. Worth noting here is both the skillful foreshortening of Abel's body, with its insistent chiaroscuro contrasts, and the virtuosity in the anatomical rendering, with the slight bulge of the belly. Very refined, finally, is the choice to limit the sign of the violence suffered to the slight trickle of blood that runs from the temple down the cheek and neck to stop at the hollow of the collarbone.

            (Parma 1582–1647 Rome) The Adoration of the Magi, oil on canvas, 112 x 94 cm, framed Provenance: possibly, collection of Pierre André Joseph Knyff, canon of the cathedral of Antwerp, until 1785; possibly his sale, Grange, Antwerp, 18 July 1785, lot 185 (as Giovanni Lanfranco); possibly acquired by Jan Wubbles (1728–1791), Amsterdam; Private European collection We are grateful to Erich Schleier for confirming the attribution of the present painting on the basis of photographs. The present previously unpublished painting is an important addition to the oeuvre of Giovanni Lanfranco. Schleier dates the work to between 1616 and 1619, when Lanfranco was at the apogee of his career, following the execution of the paintings for the Bongiovanni chapel in Sant’Agostino, Rome. The contrasts of light and shade in the present composition, show that Lanfranco was still under the influence of Orazio Borgianni (1574–1616) during this period whilst also being stylistically influenced by Annibale Carracci (see E. Schleier, Giovanni Lanfranco. Un pittore barocco tra parma, Rome and Naples, exhibition catalogue, Milan 2001, p. 37). The Madonna’s hair, plaited round her head, reoccurs, as do her slightly childlike features, in other compositions by Lanfranco including Angelica and Medoro in a New York private collection, which can also be dated to 1616–1617. Schleier has observed that Lanfranco used the same model in other compositions and he has suggested that the facial features may be those of Cassandra Barli whom the artist married in January 1616. Comparisons are also possible with the Madonna in the Saint William rescued by the Madonna, by 1615 circa, in the Church of Sant’Agostino, Rome (see Schleier, op. cit., cat. no. 28). The Madonna is seated with the Child in her lap and Saint Joseph to her right. One of the Magi is kneeling, while the other two are bowed in reverence, beside them are figures and camels. A painting that matches this description was listed as lot 178 in the sale of the collection of Pierre André Joseph Knyff, canon of the cathedral of Antwerp, held on 18 July 1785. The Knyff collection also included Ruben’s Christ and the Adulteress now in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels. The painting by Lanfranco was acquired by the painter and collector active in Amsterdam, Jan Wubbels (1728–1791), who also purchased the painting by Rubens. At the beginning of the seventeenth century Lanfranco trained with Agostino Carracci (1557–1602) in Bologna and then with his brother Annibale (1560–1609) in Rome. Between 1610 and 1620 he received prestigious commissions from cardinals Odoardo Farnese and Jacopo Sannesi and between 1610 and 1612 he travelled to Parma and Piacenza before returning to Rome. After 1620 Lanfranco became the most important painter in Rome and received commissions from Pope Paul V. In 1634 he travelled to Naples where he remained until 1646 receiving commissions for large altarpieces, as well as for frescoes in the dome of the Gesù Nuovo and the decoration of the church of the Certosa di San Martino. Lanfranco spent the last year of his life in Rome, where he returned in 1646.

            Madonna con il Bambino Olio su tela, cm 50X34,5 La straordinaria fortuna critica di Correggio durante l'età seicentesca è altresì attestata da questa tela, che reca un'attribuzione collezionistica a Giovanni Lanfranco (Parma, 1582 - Roma, 1647). L'analisi della composizione evidenzia che si tratta di una citazione desunta dalla pala raffigurante la Madonna con Bambino in gloria e angeli, san Sebastiano, san Geminiano e san Rocco detta Pala del San Sebastiano (olio su tavola, cm 265X161). Correggio la realizzì nel 1524 per la Confraternita di San Sebastiano e oggi custodita alla Gemäldegalerie di Dresda (cfr. Gemäldegalerie Dresden. Alte Meister, Leipzig 1992, pp. 151- D. Ekserdjian, Correggio, Cinisello Balsamo, 1997, p. 176). Per quanto riguarda il Lanfranco, impiego diverse volte questo modulo compositivo, in modo particolare nella pala custodita a Leonessa in provincia di Rieti e in quella di Capodimonte (cfr. Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte. La collezione farnese. La scuola emiliana: i dipinti. I disegni, a cura di N. Spinosa, Napoli 1994, pp. 186 - 187).

            Est: €800 - €1,200

            Cupido addormentato Olio su tela, cm 99,5X96,5 Il dipinto, di carattere emiliano e secentesco, reca un'attribuzione collezionistica a Giovanni Lanfranco (Parma, 1582 - Roma, 1647) e descrive un amorino addormentato con il capo sulle braccia conserte e appoggiate su un bassorilievo marmoreo. L'iconografia trova origine nei cupidi di età classica, raffigurati come fanciulli ignudi con archi e frecce, tema che ebbe ampia diffusione in età rinascimentale e barocca, trovando nei parametri di gusto all'antica la sua fortuna illustrativa. La tela perì, si distingue altresì per la particolare posa del Cupido, che solitamente è rappresentato disteso come tramandato dalla scultura antica e lo vediamo ad esempio nel celebre dipinto di Caravaggio custodito a Palazzo Pitti a Firenze o nelle simili opere di Guido Reni. Il Cupido seduto invece, si riscontra in una bellissima opera del Genovesino appartenente al Museo Civico Ala Ponzone di Cremona, che si contraddistingue perì quale Vanitas, essendo seduto su un libro reggendo un teschio. Tornando all'opera, riscontriamo il suo carattere tenebroso dettato dalla interpretazione dei chiaroscuri caravaggeschi da parte degli artisti emiliani a Roma durante il secondo decennio e che caratterizzì le opere di Ludovico Carracci, le prime prove capitoline di Guercino e la produzione di Giovanni Lanfranco. La superficie della tela in esame interessata da secolare sporcizia, suggerisce una dovuta prudenza attributiva.

            Maddalena penitente Olio su tela, cm 71X93 Il dipinto reca un'attribuzione collezionistica a Giovanni Lanfranco (Parma, 1582 - Roma, 1647). La tipologia del volto e del paesaggio, si riscontra in diverse composizioni dell'artista di origini emiliane che si trasferì a Roma al seguito di Annibale Carracci, collaborando con Sisto Badalocchio, Francesco Albani e Guido Reni. Lo stile del Lanfranco trovì piena evoluzione nel corso degli anni Venti, acquisendo una nuova plasticità ed una tensione quasi metallica, insieme ad un maggiore dinamismo dei movimenti, aspetti questi, che si colgono assai bene ad esempio nella tela raffigurante Mosè e gli esploratori di ritorno da Canaan del Museo Getty databile al 1621-1624.

            (Parma, 1582 - Roma, 1647) Cristo cammina sulle acque Olio su tela, cm 93X58 Bibliografia: Archiviazione Zeri, n. 51073 come Giovanni Lanfranco (?) Nell'estate del 1625 Lanfranco fu incaricato da Urbano VIII e dalla congregazione della Fabbrica di San Pietro di dipingere la Navicella in uno dei grandi altari alle pareti esterne dei pilastri della cupola. L'opera era destinata a sostituire la pala dipinta vent'anni prima da Bernardo Castello. Nei due anni successivi l'artista parmense elabora diversi studi grafici e nel 1628 l'affresco fu portato a termine, decretando la benevolenza dei Barberini nei confronti dell'autore (cfr. 'Giovanni Lanfranco un pittore tra Parma, Roma e Napoli', catalogo della mostra a cura di E. Schleier, Milano 2001, pp. 373-375, n. D.27). L'opera della Basilica, infatti, esibisce uno stile maturo e pienamente barocco, la scena  concitata e l'incedere sicuro di Cristo visibile in primo piano a destra, crea una straordinaria dicotomia narrativa, aspetti che bene esibisce la tela qui presentata, archiviata da Federico Zeri quale possibile modelletto, pone evidenti dubbi attributivi. Certamente  indubbia l'importanza storica del dipinto, specialmente dopo la sua sostituzione musiva, ma  in questo passaggio che diviene forse possibile sciogliere il nodo della paternitˆ ricordando che il mosaico ora visibile fu realizzato nel 1726 da Pietro Paolo Cristofari su un cartone di Niccol˜ Ricciolini dipinto tra il 1718 e il 1720 (cfr. M.B. Guerrieri Borsoi, 'Dalla Fabbrica di San Pietro alla chiesa di San Domenico a Urbino: copie di originali vaticani riutilizzate per volontˆ del cardinal Annibale Albani', in 'Antichitˆ viva', XXVIII (1989), 1, p. 35).
