After ANDREA DEL VERROCCHIO (Florence, 1435 - Venice, 1488). "The Condottiero Bartolomeo Colleoni". Bronze. Ferdinand Barbedienne Fondeur. Measurements: 16 x 43 x 17 cm. Replica in medium format of the equestrian monument in bronze dedicated to the Condottiero Bartolomeo Colleoni, 395 cm high without the pedestal, realized by Andrea del Verrocchio between 1480 and 1488 and located in Venice, in the square of Saints John and Paul. It is the second equestrian statue of the Renaissance, after the monument to Gattamelata by Donatello in Padua, 1446-53. Its history dates back to 1479, when the Republic of Venice decreed the realization of an equestrian monument dedicated to this Condottiero, who died three years earlier, to be placed in the Piazza dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo. In 1480 Verrocchio was commissioned to execute it, and he began the work in his workshop in Florence. In 1481 the wax model was sent to Venice, where the artist went in 1486 to personally direct the casting of the final model, in lost-wax bronze. Andrea Verrocchio died in 1488 with the work unfinished, although the wax model was to remain, and in his will he determined that Lorenzo di Credi should continue the project. However, the Venetian Signoria preferred the local artist Alessandro Leopardi, a painter and sculptor, multidisciplinary in the modern way, as Verrocchio himself had been. The Florentine artist based the creation of the monument on the equestrian statue of Donatello's Gattamelata, the ancient statues of Marcus Aurelius and the horses of St. Mark (13th century) and of the Regisole (a work of late antiquity in Pavia, lost in the 18th century). There were also frescoes by Giovanni Acuto, Paolo Ucello and Andrea del Castagno. There was, on the other hand, the important technical problem of representing the horse with a raised front leg, in a majestic forward position, which Donatello had prudently solved by placing a sphere under the raised leg. Verrocchio will be the first to succeed in erecting an equestrian statue supported only on three legs.

Giacinti Brandi (1621-1691) "S. Giovannino" Important 17th century baroque painting attributable to the hand of the great Roman master Giacinto Brandi. It represents San Giovannino who, with an expression of rare beauty and intensity, directs his gaze towards us who observe this small masterpiece. Giacinto Brandi (1621 – January 19, 1691) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Rome and Naples. Born in Rome, he was part of the studio of Alessandro Algardi, a prominent sculptor who noticed that Brandi was better suited to painting. He joined the studio of Giovanni Giacomo Sementi. He traveled to Naples from 1638 and by 1647 had returned to Rome to work with Giovanni Lanfranco, where Brandi became friends with Mattia Preti. The two artists would later collaborate often. His works are well distributed among the baroque churches of Rome, including the ceiling frescoes of San Carlo al Corso (1670-1671), San Silvestro in Capite, Sant'Andrea al Quirinale, a canvas of Sant'Andrea (1650) in Santa Mary on Via Lata a painting of the Martyrdom of the Forty (1660) for the Chiesa delle Santissima Stimmate di San Francesco, a Coronation of the Virgin (1680) that serves as the main altarpiece of the church of Gesù e Maria, a canvas of drunkenness of Noah in the Galleria Corsini, an Assumption (1655) for Santa Maria in Organo in Verona, a fresco of Ovid's Metamorphoses (1651-1653) for the Palazzo Pamphilj in Piazza Navona and a Martyrdom of San Biagio for the church of San Carlo ai Catinari a Visione del blessed Giovanni di San Facondo (1656) and Estasi della beata Rita da Cascia (1660) in the Basilica of Sant'Agostino in Campo Marzio San Rocco intercedes per i malati di peste (1673) and San Rocco in gloria (1674) in the Chiesa di San Rocco all'Augusteo; Compianto sul Cristo morto (1675-1676) in the Chiesa di Sant'Andrea al Quirinale.
