<B>Attributed to FRANZ ANTON MAULPERTSCH </B></I>(Austrian 1724-1796)<BR><I>Triumph of the Arts: Modello for a Ceiling Decoration</B></I><BR>Oil on canvas<BR>16 x 13 inches (40.6 x 33.0 cm)<BR>Unsigned<BR> <BR>Provenance:<BR>Deaccessioned from the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, accession number 1930.12<BR><BR>Although this painting has traditionally been attributed Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (Italian 1692-1769), it is in fact closer in style to the work of the Austrian painter Franz Anton Maulpertsch (Maulbertsch). Its free, painterly manner strongly suggests it was a working sketch.<BR><BR>Franz Anton Maulpertsch was baptized at Langenargen on Lake Constance (Germany), June 7, 1724, and died in Vienna, August 8, 1796. He was the main representative of late Austrian baroque painting, son of the painter Anton Maulpertsch. He continued to develop and perfect the Austrian baroque tradition of P. Troger. From 1739 he was active in Vienna where he was a student of P. van Roys, later of van Schuppens. Maulpertsch worked in Vienna, Lower Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Moravia, Dresden, and Innsbruck, creating ceiling paintings in palaces, churches, and monasteries. His style was profoundly influenced by the Italian painters G. B. Piazetta, G. B. Pittoni, and notably G. B. Tiepolo, as well as Bavarian and Austrian painters (J. E. Holzer, P. Troger) and Rembrandt, whose works he knew from copper engravings. Maulpertsch created dramatic, bold paintings in splendid colors, genre paintings, portraits, and graphic works. From the middle of the 1760s onwards, he tended towards greater clarity and order and finally adopted a more classical manner.<B>Condition Report:</B> Canvas is relined.
