Boy with pet dog
Boy with Dog. Ceruti, Giacomo 1698-1767. Born in Milan, Ceruti trained there and absorbed the north Italian interest in still-life painting associated with the work of Caravaggio. In northern Italy during the eighteenth century a fashion developed for paintings of peasants and beggars. Ceruti developed this genre by incorporating still-life details of game and vegetables and giving his peasants a new sense of dramatic solemnity. His work earned him the nick-name ?il pitocchetto? the painter of beggars. In 1721 Ceruti moved to Brescia where he produced an important early series of beggar and pilgrim scenes depicting the ragged poor that were quite unlike any previous representations of the genre. Ceruti?s Brescian beggar scenes are large in scale and devoid of the comic and anecdotal qualities usually associated with this style of painting

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Boy with Dog," is a masterpiece by the renowned Italian Baroque painter Giacomo Ceruti, born in Milan in 1698. Ceruti's artistic journey began in his hometown where he was influenced by the North Italian interest in still-life painting, absorbing the techniques of Caravaggio. In the early 18th century, a trend emerged in northern Italy for paintings of peasants and beggars. Ceruti innovated this genre by integrating intricate details of game and vegetables, imbuing his peasant subjects with a newfound sense of dramatic solemnity. Ceruti's groundbreaking work earned him the nickname "il pitocchetto," which translates to "the painter of beggars. In 1721, Ceruti relocated to Brescia, where he produced an influential series of beggar and pilgrim scenes. These works, which depicted the ragged poor in a way unlike any previous representations of the genre, were notable for their large scale and absence of comic or anecdotal qualities. In this particular painting, Ceruti masterfully captures the bond between a young boy and his faithful canine companion. The boy's introspective gaze and the dog's attentive expression create a poignant moment of connection between the two. The muted colors and the intricate textures of the boy's clothing and the dog's fur add depth and richness to the scene. Ceruti's "Boy with Dog" is a testament to his unique ability to imbue everyday moments with profound meaning and emotion. His work continues to captivate audiences with its raw authenticity and timeless appeal.
