Pier Dandini (Florence 1646 - Florence 1712) - Coriolanus Beseeched by His Mother.

Pier Dandini (Florence 1646 - Florence 1712) - Coriolanus Beseeched by His Mother. 50 x 37 cm. Oil on canvas, unframed. The painting depicts the famous episode from Roman history in which Volumnia, kneeling in the foreground, implores her son Coriolanus to spare Rome. The general, wrapped in a red mantle and standing in a commanding position, is surrounded by soldiers in armor and a group of suppliants. The animated and dense composition recalls the models of great Florentine Baroque painting. The loose brushwork, the warm chromaticism dominated by reds and ochres, and the confident rendering of physiognomies confidently attribute the sketch to the hand of Pier Dandini, a painter of Marattesque training active between Florence and the main Italian courts, author of significant decorative cycles and altarpieces. The synthetic and vigorous pictorial application is typical of a preparatory model. Condition report: Canvas relined. Good condition of the pictorial surface, with signs of aging and wear.
