Pier Francesco Cittadini (Italian, 1616-1681) A boy in courtly attire with a parrot and a vase with flowers in a Baroque park landscape, oil on canvas, 99.5cm x 140.5cm Note: Initially a pupil of Daniele Crespi, Cittadini moved to Bologna before the age of twenty to study with Guido Reni, whose influence is clearly evident in such early works as the Martyrdom of Saint Stephen, the Flagellation and the Christ Crowned with Thorns in the church of Santo Stefano, Bologna. He travelled to Rome in the mid-1640s and came into contact with the French and Flemish artists living there. This international melting pot gave rise to an original artistic vocabulary aimed at the naturalistic depiction of reality in a vast number of still lifes, landscapes and portraits. Provenance: The estate of a former antique dealer, artist and decorator; the contents of a country residence, near Tunbridge Wells.
