AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Francesco Botti (Florence 1640 - 1711)
Sant'Antonio
Oil on canvas
117 x 87 cm
Dimensions with frame 131 x 102 cm
It is interesting to note that, although the painting is characterised by the strong stylistic influence of Pignoni, it is not a copy, but rather a free expression of Botti within the stylistic framework he learned from his master.
We would like to thank Dr. Alessandra Tamburino for studying the work and providing the attribution.
After receiving his initial education under his father Giacinto, Botti entered the studio of Simone Pignoni, eventually becoming his close collaborator. Following his training, he took several formative trips, which took him to Venice, where he observed the great artists of the previous century. At the same time, he absorbed the contributions of his fellow Venetian, Sebastiano Mazzoni, with his soft, imaginative painting style, as well as the visionary naturalism of Antonio Carneo. From 1678, he worked extensively in Florence, producing altarpieces and chamber paintings in a style that over time distanced itself from Pignone's influence, incorporating the ethereal, smoky painting of Livio Mehus and Cecco Bravo.
The visible frame in the photo is included as a courtesy and is not an integral part of the artwork. Any damages to the frame will not be valid grounds for claims or order cancellations.
