...MOINS.....
Une peinture rare et importante de Giulio Cesare Procaccini représentant la légendaire Judith décapitant Holopherne, un sujet qui a captivé des artistes tels que Caravaggio, Artemisia Gentileschi, Kehinde Wiley et Robert Longo. Cette scène biblique dramatique, rendue avec un clair-obscur saisissant, illustre la maîtrise de Procaccini en matière de lumière et d'émotion, ainsi que son engagement envers l'un des thèmes les plus durables de l'histoire de l'art : la justice et le triomphe.


 


Cette œuvre possède une provenance exceptionnelle, ayant été commandée par Giovanni Carlo Doria, l'un des collectionneurs les plus éminents de Gênes, dont la collection comprenait des œuvres de Léonard de Vinci, du Titien et de Van Dyck, et est restée dans la collection de la famille Doria pendant environ 300 ans. Elle est répertoriée dans le catalogue raisonné de l'artiste et fait l'objet d'une littérature abondante.


 


Des compositions comparables de Procaccini figurent dans les collections de grands musées tels que la National Gallery of Art, à Washington, D.C., et le musée de l'Ermitage, à Saint-Pétersbourg. Ce tableau représente une occasion rare d'acquérir une œuvre de l'artiste digne d'un musée, qui se distingue à la fois par son importance dans l'histoire de l'art et par sa provenance exceptionnelle.
