Beautiful and evocative painting in the splendid style of Federico Faruffini.
The strong colours, languor and romanticism emanating from this painting make this oil on canvas a small masterpiece.
This artwork, never before on the market, comes from an important private collection and is beautified by an impressive antique frame in gilded wood, in almost perfect condition.
Federico Faruffini (1833–1869) was an Italian painter and engraver of historical subjects, in a style that combines the styles and themes of Realism with the diffuse outlines and lively colors of Scapigliatura painters.
Born in Sesto, a commune now inside the metropolitan area of Milan, he initially trained with Trecourt in Pavia.
He befriended Tranquillo Cremona and accompanied him to Milan and Venice.
He traveled with Giovanni Carnovali. In the 1864 exposition at the Brera, he submitted a watercolor, Coro della Certosa di Pavia, and four oil canvases: Scholars of Alciato, an Annunciation, Sordello e Cunizza, and his Machiavelli and Borgia, which he both painted and engraved, and for which he received a medal in 1866.
His Sacrifice at the Nile was painted for the 1865 exhibition. In 1867, at the Paris Salon, he was awarded a first prize medal for a paintings of Borgia and one of The death of Ernesto Cairoli.
