Verona 1700 ca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Still life with flower vase, mezzina and peacock<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">oil on canvas, cm 93&#215;124<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pendant with large still lifes, characterized by great freshness and by the effective decorative intent, combines a varied repertoire of flowers, fruit and objects, such as the foreshortened mezzina in one of the canvasses, with the presence of live animals. A proud peacock towers in one of the paintings, perched on a balustrade prospectively foreshortened in the background, and a butterfly is flying near the flowers placed in a ceramic vase. In the other canvas, it is worth drawing attention to the small scroll with the inscription \u201cperti\/gna\u201d, inserted in a woven straw cord of a flask, possibly a rebus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The duality of the still life, the representational spontaneity, the classical architectures marked by crevices and crackings, are recurring motifs in Felice Fortunato Biggi\u2019s work, also known as Felice dei Fiori, to whom these canvasses have been attributed. The artist, likely from Parma, probably studied in Rome with Mario dei Fiori, remembered in his early paintings. The biographer Pellegrino Orlandi, in the eighteenth century, writes that Felice \u201ctook refuge in Verona where he lived until the end of his life\u201d working on other paintings for international commissions \u201cthat were largely paid\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another work worth mentioning for comparison is the early painting which was recently on the antiques market and signed \u201cFelix B fecit\u201d, made in the seventh decade of the seventeenth century, depicting both dead and live animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-tornabuoni-arte wp-block-embed-tornabuoni-arte\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Fr0QWW1SWV\"><a href=\"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/collections\/still-life-with-flowers-fruit-and-watermelons\/\">Still life with flowers, fruit and watermelons<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Still life with flowers, fruit and watermelons&#8221; &#8212; Tornabuoni Arte\" src=\"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/collections\/still-life-with-flowers-fruit-and-watermelons\/embed\/#?secret=o2NevfqtsE#?secret=Fr0QWW1SWV\" data-secret=\"Fr0QWW1SWV\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2476,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio-types":[46],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/5482"}],"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=5482"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-types?post=5482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
