\Artist: Luca Giordano (Napoli, 18 ottobre 1634 – Napoli, 12 gennaio 1705) Ambito di
Technique: Oil on canvas\Signature: Not signed
Size: 90 x 158 cm. Without frame. Oil on canvas depicting the Rape of the Sabine Women, circle of Luca Giordano. From a private collection and one of a pair. The scenic composition, which includes a series of tangled figures, the pallor of the complexions associated with a balanced and never violent chromatic taste, but with a strong decorative impact, lead us to connect these paintings with the Neapolitan Baroque and more specifically to Luca Giordano, surely with one of his students who had the opportunity to learn from him in Naples. For these works it should not be excluded, given the excellent quality of some elements (figures) , and the complexity and the executive commitment, the possibility that they were made by multiple people, which often happened in the Giordano’s circle. In fair condition, with patina. Re-stretched and re-lined. Craquelure and cracking of pigment on the whole surface. Restorations emerged under Wood’s lamp. Upon verification with solvents, the work has proven authentic in its entirety.
