(Napoli, 1617 ; Roma, 1673) Natura morta Olio su tela, cm 62X73,5 Provenienza: Napoli, collezione privata Su Paolo Porpora possediamo scarne notizie biografiche, tuttavia, sappiamo che nel 1632 era allievo del celebre naturamortista Giacomo Recco. La sua produzione, inoltre, conta una sola opera firmata e ciò pone difficoltà per definire agevolmente la cronologia del suo catalogo, mentre è indubbio che l'artista conquistò precocemente uno straordinario successo e il De Dominici di lui scrisse 'che dipinse con migliore maniera e più belle composizioni di Luca Forte' raffigurando con maestria: 'pesci, ostriche, lumache, buccine e altre creature marine, e altro ancora' (B. De Dominici, Vite de' pittori, scultori ed architetti napoletani, Napoli, 1742-45, III, p. 293). Nel 1654 Porpora lasciò Napoli per recarsi a Roma dove frequentò l'Accademia di San Luca dal 1655 al 1670, entrando poi a far parte della Congregazione dei Virtuosi al Pantheon nel 1666. Nella Città Eterna l'autore ebbe l'opportunità di conoscere i colleghi del nord Europa come Otto Marseus van Schrieck (c. 1613-1678) e Matthias Withoos (1627-1703), che condizionarono profondamente il suo stile, inducendolo a descrivere meravigliosi sottoboschi, evocandone al meglio la natura misteriosa, come si evince osservando le tele conservate al Museo Pignatelli di Napoli e al Museo Nazionale del Galles. Nelle nature morte più tradizionali, tra le quali eccelle quella di Capodimonte, Porpora dimostra altrettanto bene la propria indole naturalistica ma anche una fervida fantasia e delicatezza compositiva, coadiuvata da una eccellente ricercatezza cromatica e regia di lume crepuscolare. Queste qualità si possono ben riscontrare nella tela qui presentata, la cui atmosfera, sia pur offuscata dalla sporcizia, è ravvivata dalla presenza dei raffinati vasi istoriati, dal rosso vivo dei corbezzoli, dalla lucente rugiada delle foglie e dai peculiari funghi posti in primo piano. L'opera, quindi, presenta il conseguimento di una autonomia inventiva e compositiva che suggerisce una datazione matura ma ancora intrisa dei sentimenti naturalistici partenopei. Si ringrazia Stefano Causa per l'attribuzione. Bibliografia di riferimento: R. Causa, Paolo Porpora e il primo tempo della «natura morta» napoletana, in Paragone, II, 1951, 15, pp. 30-36 R.

PORPORA, PAOLO (1617 - 1673). "Bodegón con flores, frutas y plato de pescado". Óleo sobre lienzo. 45,5 x 52,5 cm. A los quince años entró como aprendiz en el taller de Giuseppe Recco, donde recibió una educación caravaggesca. Trabajó en Nápoles como pintor especializado en la composición de flores y frutas, y en la de animales. Posteriormente viajó a Roma, donde en 1656 aparece como miembro de la Academia de San Lucas, dedicándose a pintar de acuerdo a las nuevas corrientes de la pintura nórdica. Amigo de la observación del natural y de los contrastes de la luz, estuvo especialmente influenciado por dos holandeses, Matthias Withoos y Otto Marsaeus.

Paolo Porpora, A Goat, Tortoise and Snail in a Forest Landscape.
Est: €40,000 - €50,000
The attribution of the present painting, of unusual subject, has been confirmed by Professor Riccardo Lattuada and the following catalogue entry is based on his expertise.This painting can be ascribed to the work of the still life painter Paolo Porpora, who moved to Rome after training in Naples with Giacomo Recco. The painter´s oeuvre is characterized by a caravaggesque use of the light, to which is added a decorative attitude of baroque inclination.In his early known works the artist depicts small animals, insects, reptiles and undergrowth in wooded landscapes: For this particular genre, the young artist could follow the examples of two Northern artists active in Rome - Otto Marseus van Schrieck and Matthias Withoos - the study of whom was fundamental for his development. Porpora was already heavily praised within his lifetime, as the account of De Dominici testifies: “Si applicò a dipingere varie sorte di Animali, fece eccellentemente pesci e varie frutta, ed altre cose di mare, dipingendo ancora frutti, agrumi, pollami, volatili ed altre cose commestibili” (B. De Dominici, Vite de' pittori, scultori ed architetti napoletani, Napoli, 1742-45, III, p. 293). With the years, his compositions became more and more complex and realistic, as evident in details such as the snails and leaves in the present painting. In his mature works, the painter took particular care in refining the rendering of fur and plumage as well as in using light to define shapes and volumes, as evident in the present example, which can be compared with other depictions of large fowl (see: "A rabbit, duck, turtle and other animals", Sotheby's New York, 25th May 2000, lot 23 and “Decorative fowl, lizard and butterfly in a landscape”, previously given to G. A. Cassana, Christie's, London, 21st June 1989, lot 138).
