Est: €300 - €500
(Roma, 1578 - 1630) Ritratto di gentiluomo Olio su rame, cm 6,2X4,9 Ottavio Leoni si deve considerare uno dei più importanti ritrattisti della prima metà del XVII secolo, altresì celebre quale miniatore e disegnatore. Ad attestare la sua brillante carriera è la nomina a principe dell'Accademia di San Luca, l'amicizia con il Caravaggio e la sua attività per le più importanti famiglie romane e della penisola. Ritrasse non solo 'sommi pontefici, [...] principi, cardinali e signori titolati', ma anche gentiluomini, artisti, amici, parenti, belle cantatrici e valent'huomini d'ogni provenienza e d'ogni altra qualità purché famosi fussero' (Baglione 1642). Le effigi di diversi esponenti del ceto popolare, dal carattere intimo e familiare, introducono invece alla cospicua produzione privata di Leoni, che immortalò i volti del popolo virtuoso della capitale papale, offrendo una selezione unica nel suo genere e di immenso interesse storico.

Est: €30,000 - €40,000
Ottavio Leoni (Roma 1578 - 1630) attribuito Ritratto del Cardinale Scipione Borghese Olio su tela 172,5 x 114,5 cm La presente opera è riconducibile al ritrattista romano per una serie di considerazioni: in primis, egli fu il più importante ritrattista romano dell’inizio del Seicento: a lui si riferivano le più alte cariche ecclesiastiche e i più importati casati, tra i quali sono documentati anche i Borghese. Stilisticamente, l’opera ricalca il "Ritratto di cardinale Ludovico Ludovisi" del Museo Szépmuvészeti di Budapest, con una precisa riproposizione delle mani. Inoltre, entrambi i dipinti derivano dallo stesso disegno, come ci dimostra la perfetta sovrapponibilità del trono e delle stesse identiche cinque borchie poste sul lato. Ad aumentare la qualità dell'opera in esame sono sia il notevole ritratto di cane sia la maestria con cui è reso il pizzo bianco del rocchetto, dettagli rimarchevoli e da porre all’attenzione. Ottavio Leoni apprese i rudimenti dell’arte pittorica dal padre, ma è utile ricordare come egli sia cresciuto in un ambiente fervido di pittura come fu Strada Paolina all’epoca, via in cui abitavano Orazio e Artemisia Gentileschi, Antiveduto Grammatica, Peter Paul Rubens, Adam Elsheimer e Paul Bril, quindi è facile pensare che possa aver avuto modo di entrare in contatto con queste eminenti personalità artistiche. Fu un eccelso ritrattista, e intorno al 1621 ritrasse Papa Gregorio XV Ludovisi, guadagnandosi la nomina di cavaliere della Croce. Sono famosi i suoi disegni, tra i quali i più è celebre è quello eseguito a gessi colorati raffigurante Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, l'unico ritratto del grande pittore firmato da un altro artista. Le sue opere oggi sono conservate presso Palazzo Ruspoli (Roma), presso il Fine Arts Museums di San Francisco, il Museum of Fine Arts di Boston, la National Gallery of Art, il Bowes Museum di Barnard Castle, il Courtauld Institute of Art e il Museum of Art di Los Angeles. Ottavio Leoni (Rome 1578 - 1630) attributed Portrait of Cardinal Scipione Borghese Oil on canvas 172,5 x 114,5 cm The artwork can be traced back to the Roman portraitist for a series of considerations: first of all, he was the most important Roman portraitist of the early seventeenth century: he was referred to by the highest ecclesiastical offices and the most important families, among which are also documented the Borghese. Stylistically, the work follows the "Portrait of Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi" of the Szépmuvészeti Museum in Budapest, with a precise repetition of the hands: both paintings derive from the same drawing, as shown by the perfect superimposition of the throne and of the same five studs placed on the side. To increase the quality of the work in question are both the remarkable portrait of a dog and the skill with which the white lace of the bobbin is rendered, remarkable details and worthy of attention. An almost identical version of the work in question has already entered the Italian market, rightly presented as a circle of Ottavio Leoni.

Ami du Caravage et protégé comme lui par le cardinal Del Monte avant de devenir en 1614 prince de l'Accademia di San Luca, Leoni nous surprend par l'acuité psychologique qu'il offre à ses modèles. Ce séduisant portrait de femme est incontestablement l'un des plus beaux dessins de l'artiste.

(Rome 1578–1630) Portrait of Donna Flavia Fani Theodoli (1575–1664), oil on canvas, 66 x 49 cm, framed Provenance: Château de Poitou, France; sale, Galerie Rouillac, Paris, 6 June 2004, lot 30 (as Attributed to Ottavio Leoni); where acquired by the present owner Literature: F. Petrucci, Pittura di ritratto a Roma. Il 600, III, Rome 2008, pag. 565 fig. 214 (as Ambito Cortonesco, Ciro Ferri?); Y. Primarosa, Ottavio Leoni (1578–1630). Eccellente miniator di ritratti, Rome 2017, p. 735 cat. no. 80, illustrated p. 736 (as Ottavio Leoni) The sitter in the present painting is Donna Flavia Fani Theodoli, the wife of the Marchese of San Vito, Theodolo Theodoli I from Rome. She is represented with a composed, severe and distant expression, but she is also depicted with realism. She wears dark clothes lightened by a thin veil. Widowed in 1615, Donna Flavia Fani Theodoli became responsible for her family’s finances and maintaining her noble family’s position at the Papal court. The identification of the sitter as Donna Flavia Fani Theodoli can be confirmed by comparison with another portrait belonging to the Theodoli family (see F. Solinas, Politica familiare e storia artistica nella Roma del primo Seicento. Il caso dei Marchesi Theodoli, in: Storia dell’arte, no. 116/117, 2007, p. 189 fig. 35). The two paintings might be identified as the ‘dui [ritratti] dell’Ill.ma Signora Nonna, uno [con] cornice negra et l’altro senza’ [‘two [portraits] of the ll.ma Signora Nonna, one [with] a black frame and the other without’] mentioned in the 1662 list of the furnishings of the Palazzo Theodoli at San Vito Romano (see op. cit. Solinas, 2007, p. 153). Ottavio Leoni was one of the leading portraitists in Rome during the third quarter of the seventeenth century. Following on from the example set by Pietro da Cortona and Gian Lorenzo Bernini he was fully aware of the latest developments in baroque portraiture. Indeed, he focused on the representation of the introspection of his sitters, as can be seen in his Portrait of Tommaso Salini in the all’Accademia Nazionale di San Luca (inv. no. 525) or in his Portrait of Marcantonio Borghese conserved in the Museo Stibbert, Florence (inv. no. 12029) as well as in his Portrait of Licinia Leni. This sense of character is also present in the present painting and owing to the fluidity and freedom of handling and the fine layering of veils of colour, this work can be considered a mature work by the artist, executed between 1625 and 1630.
