Castelli, Carlo Antonio Grue, late XVII - early XVIII.

The beautiful tablet certainly belongs to the hand of Carlo Antonio, for comparison with majolica, in the Matricardi collection, exceptionally signed by him "C.A.G. CASTELLI ", where the two-color of the tree-lined enviroment is the same, like the complexity of the landscape with various views. Despite the inscription "Castelli" is also assigned to a hypothetical period of Urbino by Carlo Antonio (Fiocco et alii 2012, No. 119) following his son Francesco Antonio, graduated in Urbino in 1705 who painted some tablets, but marking VRB and not Castelli (Gardelli 2004). Carlo Antonio inaugurates the new Central European style linked to landscape painters, particularly Poussin, present in Rome where he died in 1665, and Lorrain, whose ancient world linked style we find in the two columns of the tablet, similar to those of the painting "Marina con Enea a Delo "in London (National Gallery). Carlo Antonio does not copy but re-elaborates images, inspired by the engraved prints of great painters.
