Description

Attributed to BERNARDINO CAMPI (Italy, 1522-1591) "Emperor. Oil on canvas. Re-drawn. It presents faults in the pictorial surface and restorations. Measurements: 141,5 x 113 cm. Technically the piece can be related to Bernadino Campi who was a Renaissance painter from Cremona, who worked in Reggio Emilia. He is known as one of the masters of Sofonisba Anguissola and Giovanni Battista Trotti (il Malosso). In Cremona, his extended family owned the main artistic studios. Giulio Campi and Antonio Campi, half-brothers, were distant relatives of Bernardino; the latter is generally considered the most talented of the family. All were active and locally prominent painters. The influences on Bernardino are likely to be diverse, including those from local Cremonese such as Camillo Boccaccino, to artists from neighbouring regions such as Correggio, Parmigianino and Giulio Romano, and he made several series of copies of the eleven Caesars by Titian, later in the Gonzaga collection, and added one of Domitian, which he based on a work by Giulio Romano. Titian's original was lost in an 18th-century fire in Madrid.Bernardino was commissioned by Vespasiano Gonzaga to lead a team of artists that included Pietro Martire Pesenti in the interior decoration, including Bernardino's frescoes, of the Palazzo del Giardino in Sabbioneta, near Mantua.Among his pupils were Giovanni Antonio Morandi (active in 1585), Andrea Mainardi and Pietro Martire Pesenti, both active in the Palazzo in Guastalla.

Atrib. to BERNARDINO CAMPI (Italy, 1522-1591). "Emperor. Oil on canvas. Re-tinted. It presents faults in the pictorial surface and restorations. Size: 141,5 x 113 cm. In the piece the author has portrayed the character with the bust cut out on a landscape created in depth, whose remoteness monumentalises the figure and gives a greater rotundity to the forms of the body. The main figure carries a baton which crosses his chest, slightly turned three-quarters of the way round. His posture and his face turned towards the left side of the scene suggest that he is threatening something, as well as his hand holding his sword as if he were about to draw it. Technically the piece can be related to Bernadino Campi who was a Renaissance painter from Cremona, who worked in Reggio Emilia. He is known as one of the masters of Sofonisba Anguissola and Giovanni Battista Trotti (il Malosso). In Cremona, his extended family owned the main artistic studios.
