A sinistra Santa Francesca Romana Olio su tela 194 x 177 cm L'opera fu commissionata a Guercino nel 1656 dai Monaci Olivetani di Bologna. La tela ? rimeditazione di un prototipo messo a punto dall'artista tra il 1637 e il 1638 nella tela di medesimo soggetto per la chiesa di Santa Maria in Organo a Verona ? è connotata da un linguaggio cadenzato, austero e devoto che, legato a un'originaria destinazione ecclesiastica, ne decretò il rapido successo, trasformandola in un modello per la pittura religiosa dei decenni a seguire. L'opera conferma la profonda influenza che Guercino, a capo di una vasta bottega, seppe avere anche durante la fase matura e tarda della carriera, benché operoso da una sede relativamente periferica come Cento. Donata già nel 1657 dall'abate Orafi a Cristina di Francia, e collocata nel Palazzo Reale di Torino, la pala giunse in Sabauda per via dinastica. A destra Madonna della Benedizione Olio su tela 188 x 135 cm La pala ? commissionata dal conte Falcombelli per il suo altare nella chiesa di San Giuseppe dei Gesuiti a Pinerolo, nei pressi di Torino ? venne realizzata dal Guercino nel 1651, come testimonia fra l'altro l'iscrizione in basso a destra. Il modello iconografico della Vergine con il Bambino è stato identificato nel gruppo scultoreo della Madonna delle Vigne di Genova, eseguito nel 1616 e replicato nei decenni centrali del Seicento anche in Piemonte da molti artisti di formazione ligure. L'impianto tradizionale e il gusto classicista che pervadono la tela non oscurano le capacità innovatrici del pittore emiliano: egli riuscì a valorizzare le forme tramite sottili modulazioni di colore e di luce e attraverso una composizione molto equilibrata, che dal primo piano introduce all'armonioso paesaggio sullo sfondo. L'opera fu donata alla Galleria torinese nel 1836

... Not all the monkeys are monkeys! ... Are entities acting in disguise to test the mettle of the humans ... have you ever seen books on the subject? ... Some are pedantic, bombastic with bad picture .. .potresti just do a book with photos and your captions ... but, out of respect to your desired cease any form of endorsement ... a warm greeting
