"SPADINO"; GIOVANNI PAOLO CASTELLI (Rome, 1659 - 1730). "Still life with birds and fruit". Oil on canvas. Bibliography: Europ. Art, II. n.6. June 1991, pg. 57, image pg. 59. Size: 92 x 130 cm; 125 x 164 cm (frame). The combination of juicy fruits and exotic birds was repeatedly explored by Spadino, a painter in whose still lifes the most sensualist and exuberant side of the Baroque. The ripeness of the fruits has reached the highest degree of succulence (some are even beginning to open, announcing the ephemeral nature of their splendour). The flowers are also at the peak of their fragrance, ready to wither. The carefully chosen, distinctly baroque scenography is enhanced by the careful study of light, based on a rhythmic play of alternating plant shadows and glows that draw the eye to the porcelain bowl, the figs and the grapes, resolved with accomplished glazes. Known as "Spadino", Giovanni Paolo Castelli was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, mainly active in Rome and specialising in painting still lifes, principally flowers and fruit. He came from a family of artists whose patron was Jan Herinans, a Flemish painter linked to the Pamphili family and specialising in floral compositions. Castelli therefore grew up in direct contact with the artistic circles of Rome at the time and began his training with his older brother, Bartolomeo Castelli (1641-1686), by then a well-known still-life painter. From 1674 he worked as an independent master and after Bartolomeo's death in 1686 he took over the family workshop. Giovanni Paolo Castelli's language also reveals the influence of the Flemish artist Abraham Brueghel, who was active in Italy. In fact, it seems that between 1671 and 1674 Castelli furthered his training in Brueghel's workshop. Castelli painted mainly rich cups and vases with flowers and fruit, with a personal style marked by a brilliant palette that emphasises the contours of the objects, rendered with meticulous detail and attention to quality. His language reveals the Flemish forms that he may have learned from his godfather Herinans, and later also from Brueghel, during the latter's stay in Rome before his final departure for Naples. His language was continued by his son, Bartolomeo Spadino (1696-1738). The origin of the nickname inherited by his son, "Spadino", is uncertain; it literally means "the man with the sword", and was already held by his father, just as he would pass it on to his son. Scholars raise the question of why he inherited the nickname and not his older brother, suggesting that the answer is the shape of his signature, which is very angular, like the blade of a knife. Other historians suggest that it may be due to the fact that the artist used a long, narrow palette, the shape of which is reminiscent of a sword. However, it is documented that Giovanni Paolo was imprisoned between 1680 and 1683 for murder, which may indicate that he earned his nickname by killing his enemy in a duel. Now considered one of the most important still-life painters of the Roman school of the late 17th and early 18th century, Giovanni Paolo Castelli is currently represented in the Pinacoteca Civica Fortunato Duranti in Montefortino, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Fesch in Ajaccio and the Pinacoteca in Rieti, among other collections.

EDWARD STEICHEN (Luxembourg, 1879 - West Redding, Connecticut, 1973). "The sea", 1904. Platinum photograph mounted on original black paper on cream paper (original). Presents label on the back of German collection (Hamburg 1971). Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 13 x 17,5 cm; 29 x 37 cm (frame). Edward Steichen was a key figure in 20th century photography, directing its development as a leading photographer and influential curator. Steichen arrived in the United States in 1881. He painted and worked in lithography, before turning to photography in 1896, and first exhibited photographs at the Philadelphia Salon in 1899. Steichen became a naturalized citizen in 1900 and, after exhibiting at the Chicago Salon, received the support of Clarence White, who introduced him to Alfred Stieglitz. Steichen practiced painting in Paris intermittently between 1900 and 1922; there he met Rodin and was in contact with modern art movements, so he was able to advise Stieglitz on the selection of exhibitions. In 1901 he was elected a member of the Linked Ring Brotherhood in London, and in 1902 he co-founded the Photo-Secession and designed the first cover of Camera Work, in which his work was often published. In New York, Steichen helped Stieglitz establish the Small Galleries of the Photo-Secession, which became known as "291," and in 1910 he participated in the International Exhibition of Pictorial Photography in Buffalo. During World War I, he directed aerial photography for the Army Expeditionary Forces. Shortly thereafter he gave up painting, along with the vestiges of Pictorialism, and adopted a modernist style. He was chief photographer for Condé Nast from 1923 to 1938, while doing freelance advertising work. Commissioned as a lieutenant commander in 1942, Steichen was appointed director of the U.S. Naval Photographic Institute in 1945; there he supervised combat photography and organized the Road to Victory and Power in the Pacific exhibitions. He was director of photography at the Museum of Modern Art from 1947 to 1962, and was responsible for more than fifty exhibitions, including The Family of Man in 1955, the most popular exhibition in the history of photography. Steichen received countless awards and honors, including the title of Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor, an honorary fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society, the Distinguished Service Medal, the Art Directors Club of New York Award, the U.S. Camera Achievement Award for "Most Outstanding Individual Contribution to Photography" (1949), and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1963). Major exhibitions of his work have been held at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris, the ICP and the George Eastman House.
