Description: | Vincenzo Camuccini (1771-1844) was not only a painter but also a gifted copyist and art dealer. Camuccini made two versions of Roman women offering their jewellery in defence of the State. He painted one version in Rome in 1824, commissioned by the Duke de Blacas (1771-1839), and a replica made for the Duke of Poli, Marino Torlonia (De Angelis 1978). The whereabouts of both paintings are unknown. However it seems that the Blacas painting was still in the Duke's possession when he died in 1839 while Mrs. G. Douglas acquired most of her collection in Rome in the 1820s. | Subjects: | history (Roman); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Camuccini, Vincenzo (Italian painter, 1771-1844) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8793... | Go to resource |
