• Lot Description
  SALVATORE FRANGIAMORE (Sicily, 1853-Rome, 1915). "La Presentación", Rome, 1897. Oil on canvas. Signed, dated and located in the lower right corner. Measurements: 56 x 85 cm; 80 x 110 cm (frame). Salvatore Frangiamore presents us with a virtuoso scene contextualized in a palatial interior decorated, mainly, by a stone fireplace of Renaissance style, a rich war tapestry on the wall and a curtain that acts as a backdrop. Next to a table dressed with viands, several characters are placed around a prelate, with a lady who presents her daughter to this distinguished personality, under the attentive gaze of the rest of the spectators. The work stands out for the detail and for the magnificent representation of the clothes, with rich embroidery and delicate fabrics. Born into a family of limited economic resources, at an early age Salvatore Frangiamore showed a marked aptitude for drawing, thus attracting the curiosity of many people in his native country, in particular that of the then mayor Giuseppe Giudici, future member of the Parliament of the Kingdom and brother of the well-known scholar Paolo Emiliani Giudici. In 1883 he participated in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Rome, the inaugural exhibition at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, exhibiting "A Summer Storm". Among his most successful works were the portraits (in addition to those of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita, we remember those of the Honorable Giuseppe Giudici, of Paolo Emiliani Giudici, of Baroness Costanza Moncada Mistretta, of the barons Vincenzo and Salvatore Mistretta, of the gentleman Vincenzo Sorce Malaspina, of his sister Luigina (pencil drawing), of the ministers Michele Amari and Nicolò Gallo, of professor Francesco Durante. He also excelled as a painter of genre painting set in the Middle Ages or in the Renaissance, with works such as "Lucia and the Unnamed", "The Chess Game" or "The Visit of the Cardinal". He is currently represented in the National Gallery in London, as well as in numerous private collections throughout Europe.
