Description
Hermann David Solomon Corrodi,
Italian 1844-1905-
The Acropolis, Athens;
oil on canvas, signed and inscribed 'H. Corrodi. Roma' (lower left), 43.2 x 85.4 cm.
Provenance:
An important Private Collection.
Note:
A carefully executed and high quality preparatory study for, or version of, Corrodi's oil which sold at Christie's, London, 15 June 2015, lot 46 (£32,500). The compositional details of the present work match extremely closely those in the Christie's painting, which is almost exactly double its size.
Corrodi gained international acclaim as a painter of Orientalist subjects through his commissions from the British and Austro-Hungarian royal families. He travelled extensively throughout Europe, North Africa and the Near East, exercising his remarkable talent for subtlety in the gradation of colour, shadow and light, as evidenced in the present lot. Although Corrodi's career belongs to the second half of the century, his style is closer to the academic traditions of the first half of the Ottocento. His refined brushstroke 'est remarquable pas ses dgrads raffins de couleur, ses jeux d'ombre et de lumire, ses sujets d'inspiration aussi bien abstraits que narratifs' (C. Juler, ‘Les Orientalistes de l'Ecole Italienne’, Paris, 1994, p.66).
