Domenico Zampieri, detto Il Domenichino (1581-1641), Follower of - Salomone e la Regina di Saba - XL format

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Sealed on the back.

- This magnificent Roman version from around 1700 masterfully adapts the famous fresco design by Domenichino for the Lunette fresco in the Cappella Bandini in San Silvestro al Quirinale (Rome), depicting the Biblical scene of Solomon and Bathsheba on the throne. The painting stands out for its sober artistic elegance, structured in an ovoid format adapted within a rectangular frame where the central figures — Solomon dressed in golden mantles and Bathsheba crowned — dominate the scene with gestures of dignified devotion and majesty. The balance of the composition, the sharpness of the sculptural drapery, and the controlled drama of the courtiers and scholars flanking the dais render a clear homage to the classic Bologna-inspired ideal that made Domenichino famous.

Pictorially, the work exhibits the luminotechnical quality and refinement typical of the Roman school on the cusp of the 18th century. The vivid contrasts between the golds, blues, and carmines of the garments reflect a softened light that models the flesh with delicacy and highlights the sumptuousness of the background set, such as the raised dais and the curtain with lambrequins. This painting not only testifies to the enduring appeal of Bologna-inspired inventions in Roman collecting of the era, but also stands as a cabinet piece of executed craft, capable of condensing in a reduced format the grandeur of composition and decorum of the great monumental Baroque fresco.

- Image dimensions without frame: 95 x 114.5 cm / 115 x 134.5 cm with exclusive custom frame.
