Dem Gemälde ist eine Expertise von Prof. Camillo Manzitti beigegeben.

Das Gemälde zeigt eines der vielen Wunder des Heiligen Antonius, die so häufig in der italienischen Malerei des 17. Jahrhunderts zu finden sind, besonders in Genua. Das vorliegende Werk ist absolut typisch für Orazio de Ferrari, besonders für seine Reifejahre, einer Schaffensperiode, in der er stark volkstümlich-theatralische Akzente liebte, ohne Idealisierung, sondern inspiriert vom alltäglichen Leben. Charakteristisch ist die Darstellung des Volkes, faltige Gesichter mit stark naturalistischen Zügen. Man erkennt hier die Spuren lebenslanger harter Arbeit, die Gestik im Dialog ist ausdrucksstark, das Licht wird dramatisch eingesetzt.
Diese Stilelemente lassen eine Datierung um 1650 zu, da eine deutliche Ähnlichkeit zu anderen Werken von Orazio de Ferrari aus derselben Zeit besteht, zum Beispiel die Gemälde „La guarigione del cieco nato“ und „Cristo e l'adulterio“, beide zu sehen im Palazzo Bianco in Genua.

Orazio de Ferrari,
1606 Voltri - 1657 Genoa

THE MIRACLE OF S. ANTHONY REATTACHING A YOUNG MAN’S FOOT

Oil on canvas. Relined.
158 x 133.5 cm.
Framed.

Accompanied by an expert's report by Professor C. Manzitti.

The painting depicts one of the many miracles of Saint Anthony, so often found in Italian painting of the 17th century, particularly in Genoa. The present work is absolutely typical for Orazio de Ferrari, especially in his mature years, a creative period in which he greatly loved popular theatrical accents without idealisation but instead inspired by everyday life. A characteristic feature is the representation of the people with wrinkled faces and strong naturalistic facial features. The traces of a lifetime of hard work are evident: the gestures in dialogue are expressive and the light is used dramatically. These stylistic elements allow a dating of the painting to ca. 1650, as there are significant similarities to other works by Orazio de Ferrari from the same period, such as the two paintings La guarigione del cieco NATO and Cristo l'adulterio, both on view at the Museo di Palazzo Bianco in Genoa.
