Description

Luigi Garzi, 
Italian 1638-1721- 

Susanna;

oil on canvas laid down on panel, cradled, 52 x 41 cm. 

Provenance: 
Anonymous sale, Plauen, Germany, 23 May 2024. 
Private collection, UK. 

Note:
This painting of Susanna by Luigi Garzi, conceived in c.1683, is a new discovery in the oeuvre of the artist. Seemingly cropped from a larger painting of Susanna and the Elders, the head is derived from a sketch drawn by Garzi in 1683, 'The Assumption of the Virgin', which is now in the Narodowe Museum, Warsaw (shown here as picture no.4).

At the age of fifteen, Luigi Garzi moved to Rome from his hometown of Pistoia where he joined the workshop of Andrea Sacchi (1599-1661). Garzi maintained a highly successful career in Rome and in 1680 was appointed Regent of the 'Congregazione dei Virtuosi al Pantheon', the papal society of painters. In 1670, Garzi joined Rome's guild of painters, 'The Accademia di San Luca', and became a director in 1682.

Amongst his significant contribution towards the late Roman Baroque, Garzi developed a distinctive classicist style which he used to create mythological easel works alongside large-scale ecclesiastic commissions for various churches in Rome and Naples.

We are grateful to Dr. Francesco Petrucci for confirming the attribution of the present lot, on the basis of a photograph.
