LIBERI, Pietro. Venere, ninfe e putti. Padre Eterno con angioletti. Disegni. 1605 – 1687 Due disegni su foglio di mm. 286x332. Pastello sanguigna. Carta forte vergellata color avorio. Filigrana “Tre lune crescenti”. Timbro di collezione. Buona conservazione. Si tratta di due importanti disegni preparatori: al recto la Venere con putti, in sanguina ombreggiata, è un tema che Liberi frequenta in diverse modalità e che utilizza per raffinati quadri a olio; al verso il Padre eterno, in prospettiva dal basso, è uno studio per la pala della chiesa della Salute a Venezia, e permette di datare il foglio, di certo ante 1656. Crispo: “Il crescente successo della maniera del Liberi, con la sua attenta miscela di linguaggio barocco e colte citazioni dalla tradizione veneta, persuase i Provveditori sopra il tempio votivo della Salute a commissionargli la pala con Venezia supplice e Sant’Antonio da Padova che intercede presso la Trinità per la cessazione dell'assedio di Candia, 1652-1656, in cui il Liberi riprende la messa in scena monumentale e la tavolozza schiarita del Veronese.” Alberto Crispo, DBI, 65, 2005. Cfr. Stefania Mason Rinaldi, scheda a239, in Venezia e la difesa del Levante. Da Lepanto a Candia 1570-1670, catalogo della mostra, Venezia 1986, pp. 155-156. Per la filigrana: Briquet, II, pp. 314-25. Provenienza: timbro di collezione non identificato
Condition Report
LIBERI, Pietro. Venus, nymphs and putti. Eternal Father with little angels. Drawings.1605 - 1687 Two drawings on a sheet of mm. 286x332. Sanguine pastel. Strong laid ivory paper. "Three crescent moons" watermark. Collection stamp. Good condition. These are two important preparatory drawings: on the recto the Venus with cherubs, in shaded bleeding, is a theme that Liberi frequents in different ways and that he uses for refined oil paintings; to the Eternal Father, in perspective from below, is a study for the altarpiece of the Salute church in Venice, and allows us to date the sheet, certainly before 1656. Crispo: "The growing success of Liberi's manner, with his careful blend of Baroque language and cultured quotations from the Venetian tradition, persuaded the Provveditori above the votive temple of the Salute to commission him the altarpiece with suppliant Venice and Saint Anthony of Padua who intercedes at the Trinity for the cessation of the siege of Candia, 1652- 1656, in which Liberi takes up the monumental staging and the lightened palette of Veronese.
