"The works of Antonio Gianlisi, a son of the eponymous painter from Piacenza, perfectly embody the tradition of North Italian Baroque still life painting.
After an apprenticeship under his father, Antonio Gianlisi continued his studies under more well known artists: First in Piacenza under Felice Boselli, then in Bergamo among the circle of Evaristo Baschenis and Bonaventura Bettera. It is also recorded that he undertook a longer sojourn to Venice and even travelled to Switzerland. In 1710, he settled permanently in Cremona, which was a leading centre for violin making at the time.
This decorative pair of paintings is characteristic of Antonio Gianlisi's style. The precious textiles, embroidered in silk and gold and with shimmering borders and tassels, are the real protagonists of his works. Their textures and tactile qualities were what the artist focused on the most, rendering them with an almost analytical spirit.<BR>"
