Francesco De Mura (2)
(Naples 1696–1782)
Allegory of the Seasons,
oil on canvas, each 102 x 129 cm, framed, a pair (2)
Provenance:
Private collection, Naples;
where acquired by the present owner
The present pair of paintings by Francesco De Mura depict the allegories of the seasons. Stylistically the paintings appear to predate De Mura’s stay in Turin, which took place between 1741 and 1742, as these works display a fully Baroque style, which is typical of De Mura’s early Neapolitan period.
Francesco De Mura was first trained in the workshop of Domenico Viola. In 1708, he started to work with Francesco Solimena, of whom he became a distinguished pupil. De Mura’s early production is influenced by his master. Over time he gradually lightened his palette, simplifying the complex and monumental compositions.
