Giffi, La Raccolta di Matrici della Calcografia Romana, Rome 2009, pp. 28-9, 42-3;Chaucer Fine Arts, Gian Paolo Panini, Work in Progress, London 2010, no. 1.Exhibition: Il Settecento a Roma (2005 - 2006) Dimensions: (Canvas) 17.5 in. (H) x 28 in. (W) (Frame) 23.5 in. (H) x 34 in. (W) This spectacular drawing is one of two large, coloured presentation drawings of this subject, which Panini painted for Cardinal Domenico Orsini, Duke of Gravina (1719-1789) some time in the 1740s. These are among the most complete and highly finished drawings by Panini to have come to light so far. The painting (105 x 165 cm., National Gallery, London; Arisi 1961, p. 176, no. 173; 1986, p. 404, no.346) bears a date that has sometimes been read as 1747 but recent investigation following cleaning has found only a downward brushstroke of the last digit, also legible as 1 or 4 (The National Gallery Review 2006-7, p. 12). Our drawing is undated, but the other (341 x 543 mm., Metropolitan Museum, New York: J. L. Draper, The Lottery in Piazza Montecitorio, Master Drawings, 1969, pp.27ff; Bean/Stampfle Drawings from New York Collections The 18th Century in Italy, 1971, pp.39-40, no.55; Arisi 1986, loc. Cit) is inscribed 1743, the most attractive date as it was in February that year that the latter was begun in the Piazza Montecitorio, and moreover in September that Panini's patron, Orsini, was appointed a cardinal. The presence of a figure carrying a tablet inscribed with the date 1741 in the painting is unexplained. Panini's painting for Orsini is one of those in which he moved on from architectural capricci and scenography or views of architectural splendour tempered by scenes of everyday life, to document modern history; royal visits, receptions for foreign ambassadors and the festivals, ceremonies and public events of Rome's official calendar, of which lotteries were among the most popular with the citizenry. In both drawings and in the painting, the painter included a man seated in the left foreground, sketching or writing. He might be the artist himself, or alternatively be there to record the numbers of the winning tickets (Draper 1969, p.32). Either way he is himself attracting attention from a small group of curious admirers. Lotteries were favourite events for the Roman crowd, drawing all classes to the chance of a quick win. Although the Vatican had traditionally disapproved and even banned lotteries from the Papal States, they were reinstated by Pope Clement XII in 1725, at a time of financial hardship, to benefit good causes. At least nine draws took place each year and from 1743 they were held on the balcony of the Palazzo di Montecitorio, then the Curia Innocenziana and the seat of the papal tribunals. Panini shows the winning tickets being drawn. In both drawings the dignitaries on the balcony are unidentifiable although in the painting it is apparent that a child is drawing the tickets which float down to the eager crowd; this child seems more elegantly dressed than the poor orphans who usually performed the task in the following century.
Property of the late Marcello Violante Attributed to Giovanni Paolo Panini (1691 - 1765) Figures admiring Roman ruins Black chalk, pen and brown and grey ink, watercolour heightened with body colour, watermark Strasburg Lily In a carved and gilded period frame Provenance: Jean MottinguerPeter J. Sharp (1930 - 1992)Christie’s London, July 8th 2008, Lot 52 ($19,758)Exhibitions: New York, National Academy of Design, European Master Drawings from the collection of Peter J. Sharp, 1994, no. 23 (as Giovanni Paolo Panini), entry by L. Wolk-Simon Dimensions (Paper) 17 in. (H) x 12 in. (W) (Frame) 26 in. (H) x 20 in. (W) In this drawing, Panini shows his debt to the tradition of architectural scenography as well as his interest in antiquities. The ruinous building, with arcades and Doric columns, its roof open to the skies and its masonry overgrown with weeds, is seen in a typically deep perspective from a low viewpoint. The figure in the centre showing off some feature of the remains to a cloaked man resting on a stick is, according to Professor Arisi, a variation of a similar one who, facing in the opposite direction, points out the statue of a warrior by Agasius in an Architectural Capriccio in the Albertina, Vienna (inv.no. 2939) signed with monogram and datable circa 1750. The Vienna drawing, from the collection of PJ. Mariette, is a more elaborate composition with a greater emphasis on sculpture, but presents a similar architectural fantasy of a ruined arcade seen from below. Panini made drawings like these as independent works, for the collector's portfolio, rather than as studies for pictures.

Flemish school of the second third of the 17th century."Rachel at the well".Oil on copper.Provenance: private collection conceived since the 70's between London and Madrid.Measurements: 70 x 87,5 cm.This painting is inscribed in a tradition of religious genre that was detached from the devotional works, because in it the biblical theme was only an excuse to explore pictorially the genres of the landscape and, above all, the genre of manners, being this one especially in vogue in the 17th century. This painting depicts with great narrative richness an episode from Genesis: the meeting of Jacob and Rachel at a well where Esau's brother fell in love with her, who was his cousin. He had gone to the well to water the cattle. Enamoured, he would ask Laban, Rachel's father, for permission to take her as his wife, offering her in return to work for seven years in his service for no fee.The image focuses attention on the central figures, Jacob and Rachel, who is bringing an amphora to the protagonist. Alongside them, a prolific ensemble completes the scene, with characters and animals that reflect the artist's skill, including several camels, thus adding a note of exoticism to the image. The work, which is notable for the sumptuousness of both the figures and their clothing, shows a classically inspired architecture, particularly in the fountain, which is crowned by the figure of a little love represented with the attributes of Neptune. The landscape, conceived in depth, also ends with an architectural ensemble.
Frame; circa 1815.Walnut root and brass appliques.Provenance: private collection conceived from the 1970s between London and Madrid.Measurements: 41,5 x 30,3 x 1,2 cm.Empire style mirror frame made of walnut root wood with brass elements. It follows a style inspired by the classicism of the 19th century, basing its decoration mainly on mouldings and vegetal elements. It has a rigorously geometric frame, the lines of which are enhanced at the top and bottom by staggered mouldings on which different gilt metal applications are arranged. The frame follows a clearly architectural structure, with clean, refined and markedly geometric lines, typical of the Empire aesthetic.
17th century Dutch school."Marina".Oil on canvas.Presents tasting of cleaning.It shows label on the back with old attribution to the artist Simon Jacobsz de Vlieger (Rotterdam, 1601- Holland, 1653).Possesses an early 20th century frame.Provenance: private collection conceived since the 1970s between London and Madrid.Size: 96 x 139 cm; 109 x 155 cm (frame).In this canvas is reproduced, in detail, a naval scene with three big ships placed in the different planes. Two of the ships are placed parallel to each other, and the third in the foreground. To accentuate the drama of the scene, the painter plunges the foreground into darkness, giving the waters of the sea a dark, ominous tone, which lightens in the background, reinforcing the construction of space in depth in a scene that lacks spatial references, given that it is the open sea delimited by the coast. The masts, sails and flags of the boats in the foregrounds also contribute to this construction of the scene, which follow one after the other in depth, worked in a precise, draughtsmanlike style. In fact, the scene in general is treated with a descriptive and highly narrative language. This is due to the genre itself, as the main purpose of this type of painting is to relate a historical event rather than to depict the beauty of nature.Landscape painting acquired considerable importance in the Netherlands from the second half of the 17th century and throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. During this period artists produced both urban views or architectural interiors where the human presence was non-existent or entirely secondary, as well as rural or country landscapes and seascapes. The pure seascapes were a reflection of Holland's extremely powerful foreign trade and large naval fleet. In marine painting, artists very often opted for turbulent views, dominated by grey, stormy skies and ships confronting the elements.
French school of the last quarter of the 18th century."Architectural perspective".Ink, graphite and gouache on paper glued to cardboard,Provenance: private collection conceived since the 1970s between London and Madrid.Size: 48 x 38 cm; 54 x 43,5 cm (cardboard).Image representing an interior dominated by perspective and by an aesthetic of evident classical inspiration. The author introduces the spectator into a room of which only a section can be appreciated, in such a way that the great column, the pilasters, the arch and the balustrade take on a great relevance. Although it is worth noting that despite being in the background, the central position of the sculpture and the frieze carved in the upper part of the sculpture indicate its prominence in the scene.
