MAGGI CESARE (1881 - 1961)

SERVOLINI BENEDETTO (attributed to). "Portrait of young woman with child" 1845-1850 87x72, oil on canvas Expertise of Dr. Virginia Bertone on photocopy With close cropping, the painting presents a young woman sitting with composed elegance, encircling her son with her arm. The child's brick-red robe creates a successful contrast with the mother's severe dress, whose dark color is lifted by the whiteness of the jabot and the lacework of the collar and cuff. The woman's hairstyle, with the parting in the center and the two side bandeaux, leads back to a mid-nineteenth-century fashion. The intense, absorbed expression of the young mother, the fine, regular features of the face that emphasize the large elongated eyes, as well as the pale face of the child whose gaze is veiled with melancholy, suggest the hand of a quality artist. The very thoughtful drafting, the restraint of the setting, and the attention to detail, such as the ring that embellishes the protagonist's hand falling from the armrest of the armchair, or the clasp that closes the small purse placed at the end of the dress's neckline, suggest the author's firm academic training. The setting of the double portrait and the physiognomies lead one to place the work in the Tuscan cultural milieu and allow one to suggest that the author may be Benedetto Servolini (Florence 1805 -1879), who trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, where in 1838 he was appointed assistant to Giovanni Bezzuoli, a position he held until 1856, when he in turn became a teacher of painting. In addition to themes proper to the historical Romanticism to which he adhered early on, (The Death of Filippo Strozzi, 1833; Erminia among the Shepherds, 1835, both in Florence, Galleria dell'Accademia), he also executed portraits as in the case of the one dedicated to Frederick Stibbert, preserved by the Stibbert Museum in Florence, with which a similarity in stylistic choices can best be appreciated.
