Giovanni Battista Salvi (1609-1685)

The New York Institution is hailing the acquisition of Giovanni Battista Moroni’s Portrait of a Woman the most significant Italian Renaissance painting museum has acquired in more than half a century. The 16th-century painting was a gift from Assadour O. Tavitian, a longtime board member, who died in 2020. 

Coming on the market for the first time, this large still life by Giovanni Battista Ruoppolo is an eloquent example of the Baroque developments explored by Neapolitan painters in the second half of the 17th century.

The museum has announced the acquisition of a Study of a Male Bust in Profile by Giovanni Battista Crespi, known as Il Cerano (1573-1632), one of the great Lombard painters of the 17th century. This pierre noire and chalk on paper work was executed during the master's youth. The Louvre has only two of his drawings. 

Lombard painter Giovanni Battista Moroni was famous in his time but has fallen into oblivion in the intervening centuries. An exhibition in milan, the largest ever devoted to the artist in Italy, seeks to correct that.

The celebrated Italian artist Giovanni Paolo Panini (1691–1765) is known for his real and imaginary views of the Eternal City.

With 50-odd works, the Musée Jacquemart-André is giving visitors a chance to see and understand the art of Giovanni Bellini, the forerunner of Venetian “colore.”

This painting by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696-1770) is the modello of a work now lost, commissioned in 1743 for the Elector of Saxony, Augustus III of Poland, and intended for the royal collections in Dresden.

A great classic dear to collectors triumphed in Biarritz, where works by Pierre Soulages and Jean-Michel Frank were up for sale.

As La Gazette Drouot pointed out, this is one of the very few works by the painter of Florentine origin offered for public sale in the last fifteen years. An exclusive character that has seduced, since it has just been sold at €83,424, double its high estimate, under the hammer of Deburaux-Du Plessis.

The drawing by the Italian rococo artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo was uncovered in the loft of Weston Hall manor house in England. It will go under the hammer at Dreweatts auction house on November 16 and 17, and “conservative estimates” place it at between £150,000 and £250,000. (BBC)
