Pair of Blackmoors; Venice, 19th century. Carved and polychrome wood. Size: 182 x 50 x 30 cm (x2). This couple of Venetian servants are shown dressed in a completely idealised manner. The figures of black slaves as a support for the furniture, as well as free-standing as candlesticks, appear in Venice at the end of the 17th century, by the cabinetmaker and sculptor Andrea Brustolon (1662 - 1732). His furniture was characterised by the abundant presence of sculpture, often even in round figures. His most characteristic figures were black figures such as the one shown here, ebonised and painted, which served as supports for large pieces of furniture, or were freestanding. These figures were so popular throughout Europe that they became a key element in luxury Baroque furniture until well into the 18th century and, within the historicism, during the 19th century. They are pieces of exceptional carving quality, conceived as independent works of art. The iconography is the result of the taste for the exotic that characterised the 18th century, and which continued into the 19th century through the Romantic spirit, which liked to reflect and fantasise about everything that was different and distant, both in time and space. This piece recreates the idealised eighteenth-century Venetian world, which in the new industrial century symbolised an elegance and luxury that could never be recovered. This type of piece was meticulously and exquisitely worked, paying as much attention to the carving as to the polychromy, which freely and fancifully reproduces rich embroidered fabrics.

Circle by BARTOLOMEO PEDON (Venice, 1665-1732), ca. 1700. "Port Scene". Oil on canvas. Re-coloured. It presents very slight repainting. Measurements: 98,5 x 72 cm; 113 x 88 cm (frame). We are in front of a maritime landscape of great evocative power. The sun hides among the clouds, timidly tinting a port landscape with golden lights and silhouetting the figures portrayed in the scene. The artist combines an attentive gaze on nature with an imagination that overflows reality, thus overlapping parallel worlds, as Vernet did. In this lakeside composition of the Venetian school, the proximity of Bartolomeo Pedon and his "caprices" is evident: the poetic port landscape is animated by figures who attend to different professions: porters, fishermen, etc. The masts of the boats, the boats' masts, the boats' masts, the boats' masts, the boats' masts. The masts of the boats against the sky break the horizontality of the composition and give it dynamism. The meticulous reproductions of anecdotal episodes coexist in the same painting with the general impression of a majestic landscape. The pre-Romantic sensibility that flourished in Venice around Pedon is evident. Bartolomeo Pedon was an Italian painter of the late Baroque period. He painted mainly landscapes, often nocturnal or whimsical architectural whimsy in a wild landscape. In this he seems to have been influenced by Marco Ricci and Antonio Marini, but also by Magnasco and Salvatore Rosa. Many of his works are in private hands. In terms of public institutions, he is in the Walters Art Museum collection in Baltimore, among others. According to other sources, he was born in 1655 in Padua and worked in the monastery of San Benedetto.
