Description
Bartolomeo Bimbi (workshop of) - Vase of flowers on plinth oil on canvas 83 x 62 cm Painting depicting a still life with a floral composition set against a dark background. In the foreground, groups of light-coloured inflorescences, probably hydrangeas or viburnums, are arranged in a compact and orderly fashion, flanked by plant elements and a red-coloured flower that introduces a chromatic and compositional variation. The light, grazing and directed, emerges from the brown background and builds up the volumes with soft chiaroscuro passages, highlighting the analytical rendering of the surfaces and the tactile quality of the petals, treated with descriptive meticulousness. The layout, devoid of narrative elements, favours an isolated and legible arrangement of the subjects, according to a criterion of direct and almost classificatory observation that refers to the tradition of the scientific still life developed in Medicean Florence, a sphere in which Bimbi's activity is distinguished by the systematic documentation of the plant world. The composition reveals characters consistent with this context, although it does not present inscriptions or indications identifying the species, elements frequently found in certain works by the artist.Within a 19th-century gilded frame.
