This splendid and rare pair of Still Lifes, featuring two vases full of flowers, exhibits all the refined pictorial, formal, and chromatic characteristics that distinguish the style of the "Master of the Guardi Flowers."
The remarkable quality of the execution and the finesse of the details also attest to the attribution to this mysterious Venetian painter who preferred to remain anonymous.
The appellation, assigned to him by recent critics, derives from a series of paintings depicting well-defined floral compositions, with an original and extraordinarily elegant pictorial style, whose author has remained unknown, but for a long time attributed to the great Venetian Master.
The incorrect attribution, which considered these Still Lifes to belong to the production of Guardi and his workshop, gives rise to the current name.
In fact, he is certainly an artist who evolved in the circle of Venetian painters of the 18th century, but his works are innovative compared to the traditional canons of still life.
His paintings have sparkling colors, applied with a free and loose brushstroke.
The colors of these floral compositions, extraordinarily "modern" and entirely personal, blend with the light and monochrome background that distinguishes his works, creating chromatic contrasts of great effect and particular refinement.
The paintings are in a condition of absolute integrity, free from restorations and repainting.
A careful cleaning performed professionally allows the vision of the canvases in all their beauty.
