Orazio Gentileschi at Colnaghi | The Rest on the Flight into Egypt

06:40

Orazio Gentileschi at Colnaghi | The Rest on the Flight into Egypt

Colnaghi presents a painting with remarkable provenance by the Italian #Baroque master, Orazio Gentileschi. Born in Tuscany in 1563, Orazio spent much of his career in Rome, studying first-hand the works of #Caravaggio. The artist combined Caravaggio’s naturalism and drama, with his own sense of refinement and strong feeling for colour and line. In 1626, he was assumed into the household of King Charles I’s first minister and close friend, the dashing George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham. Orazio remained in England until his death in 1639, completing during this time four versions of 'The Rest on the Flight into Egypt', a clearly much-loved composition. All three other versions are now in the collections of leading European institutions - the @museelouvre, the @kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna, and @bhammuseum. Technical analysis of the #Colnaghi1760 picture has proven critical to our process of rigorous academic research; it is possible, on examination of high-resolution x-rays to make out pentimenti - moments where the artist changed his mind during the process of painting. Join Professor Jeremy Howard on the exciting journey to unlock the story of this important work, on public view at #ColnaghiLondon from 3 July, 2022. #Colnaghi1760 #OrazioGentileschi
