Domenico Gargiulo, called Micco Spadaro
(Naples 1610–1675)
A study for a “Judgement of Paris” (?), pen and brown ink on laid paper, 19,5 x 10,5 cm, mounted, unframed, (Sch)
Provenance:
Collection Giancarlo Sestieri, Rome.
Literature:
G. Sestieri, B. Daprà, Domenico Gargiulo detto Micco Spadaro.
Paesaggista e “cronista” napoletano, Rome 1994, p. 373, Cat. D22.
The present drawing with a male figure surrounded by three women may be a study for a Judgement of Paris (the male figure is holding an apple in the right hand). Nevertheless, Gargiulo never executed the subject. The sheet may also represent another mythological subject for which an analoguos composition by Gargiulo is not known. In any case, the present drawing with its elegant figures in a neo-Mannerist style and the spontanuous, expressive lines of the sheet speak for an excellent work within Gargiulo’s corpus of drawings. A comparable drawing with similar figures and with the same arrangement (13 x 6,5 cm) was sold at Sotheby’s London in February 1987 (Ill. Sestieri/Dapràm 1994, p. 373, Cat. D22).
