About the Item

Bambocciata with Card Game in the Countryside (Partita a carte) PAOLO MONALDI (post 1710 - post 1779), entourage ante 1750 Oil on canvas Measurements: Unframed: 45 x 31 cm. Framed: 61 x 48 cm. This painting depicts a typical moment of life in the countryside of Lazio before the annexation of Rome to the Kingdom of Italy in 1870: a card game among peasants who have dismounted from their horses. The tones of the sky and the technical style allow dating the work to the first half of the eighteenth century and placing its creation in Rome. Attributing this painting to Paolo Monaldi (post 1710 - post 1779) is a plausible hypothesis, given its similarity to his other works. Monaldi was a Roman painter, possibly the author of this canvas, but certainly belonging to the Bamboccianti movement. The Bamboccianti depicted scenes of everyday life with realism and detail, often with a humorous or grotesque touch. The Nordic painters, such as Pieter van Laer (known as "Il Bamboccio," born in Haarlem, Netherlands, 1599 - died in Rome, Italy, 1642), were fundamental in the creation of this movement, bringing with them the influence of Dutch genre painting. Monaldi drew inspiration from the works of Michelangelo Cerquozzi (born in Rome, Italy, 1602 - died in Rome, Italy, 1660), but with a more delicate and pleasant touch. The composition of this painting derives from Cerquozzi's works, as seen in the resemblance to the "Sosta presso l'abbeveratoio" in the Galleria Corsini. The interpretation attributed to Monaldi, however, is more refined and less crude. His "heroes of everyday life" are presented with a special nobility, demonstrating how Monaldi was capable of carefully considering every aspect of his paintings, hiding additional meanings behind his winning formula. This painting is in excellent condition, testament to its excellent pictorial quality and technical skill that has favored its preservation in such an impeccable state. The frame is in 18th-century style, carved and gilded wood, but from the 20th century.
