Workshop of GUIDO RENI (Calvenzano di Vergato, Bologna, 1575 - Bologna, 1642)."Bacchus child".Oil on canvas.Measurements: 73,5 x cm; 87 x 76 cm (frame).The master painted a work of "Bacchus child drinking" around 1600 which is in the State Art Collections of Dresden, Galerie Alter Meister, in Germany. It is believed that Reni's own pupils copied this painting, attributing the work in question to the artist's own workshop.The painting in question can be attributed to the workshop of Guido Reni. It has an elegant compositional balance, chromatic and luminous sensitivity, dictated by Reni's models, suggesting the attribution to an artist among the pupils or followers of the master who passed through his house-workshop in via Pescherie. Many were, in fact, the young painters who aspired to be considered his pupils, actively participating in the life of his various "rooms" or coming sporadically to draw inspiration from his work in progress.Against a landscape background is the figure of a child, crowned with vines and bunches of grapes, leaning on a small vat from which wine is flowing. The representation of this god is raising with his left arm a globular bottle, the type of onion while drinking.The undisputed master of Roman-Bolognese classicism along with Albani and Domenichino, Guido Reni was undoubtedly the best of the three. Closely linked to the Carracci family and to the city of Bologna, they all had a similar trajectory. They trained in Bologna with Denys Calvaert, and then moved on to the Accademia degli Incamminati, directed by Ludovico Carraci. In 1600 Reni arrived in Rome, where he worked with Annibale Carracci in the Farnese Gallery. His best period begins in these years; in 1609, at Annibale's death, Reni remains as the head of the classicist school. In the city he will be protected by Scipione Borghese, the future Pope Paul V, for whom the painter will realize one of his most important works, "La Aurora" (Palazzo Rospigliosi). It shows something that will always be characteristic of Reni's style, his admiration for ancient sculpture. Starting from the classical statues, he develops an ideal of beauty and perfection that will be much admired by the following painters. In 1614 he returned to Bologna for good. Reni's style evolves in a clear direction, more and more sculptural and cold, more and more fully classicist. His mature work will be characterized by a cold palette, with silvery reflections. Finally, from the 1930s onwards, his style became sketchy, with an unfinished appearance and a tendency towards monochrome, of great interest from a technical as well as a formal point of view.Guido Reni is currently represented in the most important art galleries around the world, including the Prado Museum, the Hermitage, the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the National Gallery in London, among many others.

Skyphos. Gnathia, Greece, 4th century BC. Ceramics. Restored. Measures: 13 x 18,5 x 12,5 cm. Skyphos made in the workshops of Gnathia, decorated with the black glaze technique, combined with synthesized geometric and vegetal motifs brushed in red and white colors, organized in concentric bands, following a typical style of Gnathian pottery. The skyphos is a deep wine cup, with two handles and a low, wide base, or without a base.

Seated figure with hat. Tanagra. Boeotia, V-IV century BC.Terracotta.Measurements: 11 cm.Tanagra, also called Tanagraois, was a city of Boeotia, near the border with Attica, in a territory called Pemandride, which produced the best wine of Boeotia. Perched high up, with its temples separated from the houses, it had an important necropolis. Of particular note are some human figures made in terracotta and called "tanagrines", fashionable in the ancient Greek world from the late fourth century BC to the late third century BC, found mainly in Hellenistic tombs, but also in the temples, and found in large quantities from the last third of the nineteenth century approximately. They were part of the trousseaus, and generally belonged to the Attic school of sculpture, with a strong influence of the school of Praxiteles (as seen in the present case by the curve that forms the figure at the hips, "invention" of this sculptor and therefore known as "Praxitelian curve"), with faces of sweet expression and a certain languid air, and probably made in Athenian workshops in many cases. Similar discoveries have been made in Myrina (present-day Turkey), Cyrene (Italy) and Alexandria (Egypt).

Skyphos. Gnathia century, IV BC.Black glazed ceramic.Measurements: 8 x 9,5 cm.Skyphos made in the workshops of Gnathia, decorated with the black glaze technique, combined with synthesized geometric and vegetal motifs brushed in red and white colors, organized in concentric bands, following a typical style of Gnathian pottery. The skyphos is a deep wine cup, with two handles and a low, wide base, or without a base. The handles may be small and horizontal, projecting from the rim (in Corinthian and Athenian forms), or they may be loop-shaped, set on the rim or protruding from the base. The black glaze technique employs the same glaze used on the red and black-figure ceramics, but covering the piece completely, without figurative decoration. It was a transparent raw glaze, which adopted its characteristic black tone, intense and shiny, once fired.Gnathia vases are a type of pottery belonging to ancient Apulian painting from the 4th century B.C. They owe their name to the ancient city of Gnathia (now Egnazia) in eastern Apulia. There, the first examples of the style were discovered in the mid-19th century. Its production began in Apulia around 370/360 BC, paralleling the local version of the red-figure style that developed trends toward polychromy at that time. Gnathia vases are characterized by the application of different paints directly on the body of the vase. The subjects depicted include erotes, images of women's lives, theatrical scenes and Dionysian motifs. Painting was often limited to the upper half of the vase body, while the lower half often had only ornamental decoration. The most common forms were bells, pelicans, oinochoai and skyphos.

The versatility of ceramics favored the exchange of resources in a society with numerous provinces.

Kylix; Attica, 6th century BC. Black glazed ceramic. Measures: 7 x 25 cm. The piece presented here is a kylix, a Greek ceramic type of wine drinking vessel, characterized by a relatively shallow and wide body that stands on a foot, with two symmetrically arranged handles. It was mainly used in symposiums, since its shape allowed drinking while reclining, as was done at banquets. It is decorated with the black varnish technique, the same used in the technique of the red and black figures, but covering the piece completely, without figurative decoration. It was a transparent raw varnish, which adopted its characteristic black tone, intense and shiny, once fired.

Etruscan Kyathos. 6th-5th century BC. Black buccaneer ceramic. Measures: 15,5 x 18,5 x 13,5 cm. This type of vessels used to have a funerary use, although they also belonged to the wine services. The bucchero is a type of black pottery specific to the Etruscan civilization. Known since the 7th century B.C. Its firing method (in kilns between 900 °C and 1050 °C) turns the pottery black and makes it shine like metal. The Etruscan culture was already surrounded by an aura of mystery in antiquity; even their Greek contemporaries were intrigued by the sudden emergence of this people as a maritime and commercial power, by this ancient people who, according to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, "resemble no other in their language and customs". While there are those who consider them as the people that gave rise to the Roman Empire, there are other experts who give more relevance to the differences that exist between the two peoples and consider them mere neighbors or "conqueror and conquered", depending on the time in which one speaks, recognizing a strong influence of some elements of Etruscan culture and art observed on the Romans.
