Genoa, 1693<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Architectural caprice with the biblical episode of the dedication of King Solomon&#8217;s Temple<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">oil on canvas, cm 121,2&#215;166,4<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The complex architectonic construction of this painting highlights the talents in this specific field of the author, the Neapolitan Niccol\u00f2 Codazzi, who like his father Viviano specialized in the genre of caprices and landscapes with classical buildings. In this case the vast canvas is organized in a scenic succession of imaginary buildings inspired by antiquity, placed perfectly parallel to one another, constructed by the artist with a rigorously central perspective. The succession in space of these three imaginary buildings is marked by the grazing light which falls on them, marking the rhythm of the alternation of columns, sequences of porticos and ample courts; the palette becomes progressively lighter towards the horizon, to the last Scamozzi-inspired backdrop, embellished by niches and sculptures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As is customary in this kind of paintings, the bare architectures are enlivened by nimble figures in various attitudes. In this case, the chosen subject is derived from the biblical episode of the dedication of King Solomon&#8217;s Temple, which was accompanied by the sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep (2Chronicles 7:3). A group of priests and Levites with an Eastern appearance are present to witness the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After the death of his father Viviano in 1670, the Neapolitan painter Niccol\u00f2 Codazzi moved to France, living in Paris between 1681 and 1682, where he was commissioned four large architecture paintings together with the painter Houasse for the queen\u2019s stairs in Versailles. The extreme classicism of this painting and the typology of the small figures could indicate that it was realized during the French period, before the artist moved to Genoa, as of 1688, where Codazzi worked alongside painters as Gregorio de Ferrari and the Piola brothers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1699,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio-types":[46],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/3276"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3276"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-types?post=3276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
