  • "Garibaldi" - Oil on canvas by Teofilo Patini (1840-1906) PATINI TEOFILO. Born in Castel di Sangro (L'Aquila) on May 5, 1840, died in Naples on November 16, 1906. He moved to Naples at a very young age, after graduating in Fine Arts; he enrolled at the Institute of Fine Arts, where Filippo Palizzi was teaching at the time. During the courses he easily won several prizes and finally obtained a pensioner to go to Rome, where he studied deeply the ancient masters and in particular those of the seventeenth century. He also was strongly influenced from Dutch paintings, but, above all, it was the Meissonnier who conquered him. He first dealt, for a short period of time, with the historical picture; then, with his sensitive and scornful soul, as an attentive observer of the events of human life, he gave himself to social painting, expressed with a strong and meticulous verism. His masterpiece is L'erede, which was exhibited in Milan in 1881 and is now found in the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome with Spade and Milk, exhibited in Turin in 1884. Other important paintings of his are: Il Parmigianino; The sack of Rome, of the Municipality of Naples; Art and freedom; Salvator Rosa's studio, exhibited in Turin in 1880 and in Vienna; Every good boot becomes a slipper; The first riding lesson, which is owned by the baritone Titta Ruffo; Pack animals, sent to Venice in 1887; Rocky landscape, in the M.O. collection of Milan; The riding lesson, in the Borgogna Museum of Vercelli; The country doctor; Belly and heart; The company of death: After defeat; The good ones; The notables of my country; The eagle; The caralluccio; Return to the sheepfold; The chain. Patini also tried, with less success, the sacred subject, and the paintings are remembered in this regard: Gloria del Sacramento; The temptations of Saint Anthony; Christ in the garden; The Redeemer; Christ raises the widow's son; The Annunziata; Il Purgatorio: The Crucifix; The Guardian Angel; Sant'Antonio di Padova; San Carlo Borromeo. There are also the sketches for the decorations of the Aula Magna of the University of Naples (work that, for the artist's death, remained unfinished), and the frescoes in the hall of the City Council of the same city. His students include M. Dragonetti Cappelli, E. Rubei, Vittor Scarselli.

  • "Mountain landscape, Aosta Valley" - Oil on tablet by Lorenzo Delleani, dated lower right 3.7.97, on the authentic back of Bistolfi. Authenticated by the Piedmontese figurative painters and sculptors archive. DELLEANI LORENZO. Born in Pollone (Biella) on 17 January 1840, died in Turin on 13 November 1908. He studied at the Albertina Academy, a pupil of Gamba for drawing, then of Carlo Arienti and Andrea Gastaldi, graduating in 1862 when he had already made his debut as Promoter of Fine Arts in 1855 and established itself in 1860 with an episode of the siege of Ancona. According to the romantic interests of his time, he initially dedicated himself to painting of historical re-enactment, to achieve more spontaneous research on the truth with interior studies, environment and views of Genoa, Venice and the surroundings of Turin, as well as Pollone and Paris. At the national exhibition in Turin in 1880 the Ministry of Grace and Justice purchased the vast canvas Caterina Grimani Dogaressa, while critics showed that they preferred In the garden. The following year, in Milan, alongside Sebastiano Veniero who presented the prisoners of Lepanto, he exhibited Quies, who earned him numerous acclaim, such as to induce him to abandon historical subjects to devote himself to the landscape, establishing himself for his genuineness and brightness. In addition to the large canvases destined for numerous national and international exhibitions, in which he participated in Italy and abroad, Delleani linked his name to a vast pictorial production made almost exclusively on small panels, "among the most convincing things in the Italian landscape of that age » (Lavagnino). Among his disciples we mention: Giuseppe Bozzalla, Sofia of Bricherasio, Giuseppe Buscaglione, Luigi Cantò, Giuseppe A. Levis, Angela Meucci, Camilla Bergonzio, Emilia Ferrettini Rossotti, Enrico Reycend. Delleani was in Paris and Bern in 1878, in Holland in 1883, Switzerland in 1892, but for his paintings he aimed above all at the reasons that nature and the environment could suggest to him during his periodic stays in the Biella area, in Venice, in Rome, on the Riviera , in the Monferrato.

    "Woman lying with blue vase" by Armando Spadini, oil on canvas signed on the lower right and dated 1902 on the back. The painting, although in excellent condition, needs cleaning. Armando Spadini (Poggio Caiano 1883 - Rome 1925) studied at the Institute of Fine Arts in Florence for a short time, visiting museums and exhibitions on his own, and assimilating, with his sensitivity, the joyfullness of colours, which is expressed personally, but not too far from the Venetian and French painters. Precisely this great love for the festive colours, for the transparent clarity, for the solar luminosity is showed in all his works, without the tormenting research that often characterized the work of the Impressionists. He is a painter superior to his time, to his environment; Emilio Cecchi considers him, like Antonio Mancini, the strongest pictorial temperament that arose in Italy after the end of the 18th century. Having won the competition for national retirement for painting in Florence in 1910, he settled in Rome, where he remained until his death, keeping on painting. He participated, but not so often, in various Roman and Florentine exhibitions, and in 1918 he held a solo show at the Casina Valadier in Rome. In 1924 at the Venice Biennale he had a room, where only his works had been displayed. Many of his works are in public and private galleries in Italy, in Paris, in Buenos Aires, in Lima. At the VI Quadriennale in Rome, in 1952, a commemorative exhibition took place with eighteen works. His works were also present at the 1956 edition of the same event.

  • Bartolomeo Castelli known as Bartolomeo Spadino the Younger, pair of still lifes, oil on canvas. The paintings are accompanied by the authentication of Dr. Gianluca Bocchi. "Still life with grapes, apple, plum and two peaches placed on the ground", oil on canvas cm H 35.5 x L 46. "Still life with grapes and apples placed on the ground", oil on canvas cm H 35.5 x W 46. Bartolomeo Castelli the Younger (Rome 1696 - 1738), also known as Spadino for having derived the pseudonym of his father Giovanni Paolo, is the youngest member of a family of Roman artists dedicated to the representation of still lifes of fruit. The pictorial imprint found in his works does not seem to seek the Baroque inspiration visible in his father's canvases, more based on chromatic strength and the search for decorativeness, preferring to resume and successfully update the models of the homonymous uncle, called Bartolomeo for this reason Castelli the Elder. In one of these two small canvases there is a trace on the original frame of an inscription in eighteenth-century characters which can be distinguished with the word "Spadino". The identity of the writing, found on paintings with different origins, but characterized by the same style and the same subjects, confirms the originality of the signature that the author loved to affix on the back of his compositions, vaulted on the canvases or on the frames. The pair of canvases certainly belonged to a larger series that was dispersed or perhaps split up in the course of hereditary transmissions. The author had a predilection for small dimensions, where he knew how to best express his qualities as a fine investigator of nature, revisiting Campidogliesque modules learned with the study of his uncle's compositions, probably through the drawings and cartoons left by Bartolomeo the Elder in family.

The work is published on the cover of the catalog "Genetic Fusions - Genetic Fusions" of 1991 of which a quote is reported below: "Genetic Fusions" are fascinating for their relation with the infinitely small, within which thousands of events  take place and where order seems to be the highest law we are not allowed to know yet, but that the artist makes us perceive through imagination and poetry" The work is dated and signed on the back by the author who guarantees its authenticity.
