Lot 76

Description

Carlo Innocenzo Carlone, 
Italian 1686-1775- 

The Triumph of the Arts; 

oil on canvas, 86.2 x 57 cm. 

Provenance: 
Private Collection, Genoa. 
with Thomas Agnew & Sons, London, 1968 [no.30151]. 
The Collection of Professor W. M. Ballantyne (1922-2021), and thence by descent. 


Literature: 
A. Barigozzi Brini and K. Garas, 'Carlo Innocenzo Carloni', Milan, 1967, p.86, pl.67. 
Advertisement, Apollo Magazine, October 1968, p.lxxxi (illustrated). 

Exhibited: 
London, Thomas Agnew & Sons, '17th and 18th Century Italian Paintings', 3-26 October 1968, no.29. 

Note: 
Carlone was one of the most brilliant decorators of the 18th century. He was a master of the 'bozzetti' and this is a fine example of his firm yet intensely fiery style. He seems to have kept his 'bozzetti' and at his death some three hundred were found in his studio. 

The present work depicts Apollo surrounded by allegorical figures 'Justice' and 'Time' with putti holding up a mirror possibly to 'Beauty'. This sketch was possibly made for a ceiling painted during one of the artist's many trips to Germany and Austria.
