The Triumph of Galatea
Provenance:
Distinguished private property in Cologne.
Inherited and sold by their nephew.
Chiari was trained first by Carlantonio Galliani and later by Carlo Maratta together with Giuseppe Passeri and Andrea Procaccini. He soon became one of Maratta’s most notable workshop collaborators. He carried out his first official commission at the age of 22, decorating the side walls of the Marchionni Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria del Suffragio in Rome. Numerous commissions from Roman noble families followed, through which a number of frescoes in churches and palazzi such as the Palazzo Barberini, the Palazzo Colonna and the Palazzo Spada, altarpieces and paintings of various kinds have come down to us. In this case, Chiari was certainly inspired by Raphael's masterpiece of 1514 in the Villa Farnesina in Rome. Another version of the subject, also attributed to Giuseppe Bartolomeo Chiari, is in the Knohl Collection in the USA.
