CORRADO GIANQUINTO (Molfetta 1703–Naples 1766) Saint Januarius in Glory Oil on canvas Contemporary gilded wooden frame. The painting clearly belongs to the circle of the great masters of 18th-century Naples, showing very strong affinities with the style of Corrado Giaquinto. The palette, dominated by warm pastel tones (the ochre-yellow/golden hue of the mantle), combined with the powder blue and pink of the lower drapery, perfectly reflects the maturity of the Roman and Neapolitan Rococo style introduced by Giaquinto. The “airy” texture of the clouds and the plump, graceful faces of the highly idealized cherubs recall the master from Molfetta’s famous commissions in Rome and Spain. The twisting of the bodies and the airy, pyramidal composition of the scene closely mimic Giaquinto’s sketches created for large altarpieces or frescoes. 175.5 x 125 cm.
