EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Portrait of a Member of the Nicolotti Faction, ca. 1770 Creator: Domenico Maggiotto (1713-1794) Description: This evocative portrait, painted by Domenico Maggiotto in approximately 1770, captures the enigmatic presence of a member of the influential Nicolotti faction in Bergamo during the Rococo period. The subject, dressed in the height of fashionable attire, gazes intently out at the viewer with a confident and determined expression. The richly textured oil on canvas painting, found in the esteemed collection of the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, Italy, is a testament to Maggiotto's mastery of the Venetian School. Background: The Nicolotti and Castellani families were two prominent factions in Bergamo during the late 18th century. Their power struggles, known as the "Lotta dei Pugni al Ponte" or "Battle of the Fists at the Bridge," were a series of violent clashes that took place on the Ponte dei Pugni bridge over the Venetian Lagoon. This portrait, with its somber palette and intense gaze, may depict a member of the Nicolotti faction, adding an intriguing layer of historical significance to the artwork. Maggiotto's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail, are evident in the intricately rendered fabric textures and the lifelike rendering of the subject's facial features. The painting's Rococo influences are apparent in the delicate handling of the sitter's clothing and the overall sense of elegance and refinement. The Accademia Carrara, located in Bergamo, houses an extensive collection of fine art from the Veneto region, including this portrait by Domenico Maggiotto. The painting's provenance, along with its historical and artistic significance, makes it an essential addition to any collection or exhibition focused on the Venetian School or the Rococo period.
