Yet he was not insensible to the calmer style practiced by his contemporary Neoclassical painter Giovanni David. Like him, Carlo Baratta was a very active stage designer and set painter. In 1782 he began to work for the Teatro Sant\u2019Agostino, Genoa\u2019s leading public theatre since its opening in 1702 and on which stage Paganini gave his first concerts. Some remaining drawings give evidence of this activity, such as, for example, the\u00a0<em>Underground staircase<\/em>, of Piranesian inspiration, in the collection of the Palazzo Rosso in Genoa. However, unlike David, Baratta never left Genoa.On some occasions the two artists worked together, like, for example, in the church of Nostra Signora del Carmine and the church of Sant\u2019Agnese.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carlo Baratta painted several decorations in Genovese and Ligurian churches, among which the\u00a0<em>Apparition of the Virgin<\/em>in the shrine of the cathedral of Nostra Signora dell\u2019Orto in Chiavari, the\u00a0<em>Translation of the Image of Our Lady of the Garden\u00a0<\/em>for the vault of the same cathedral, the\u00a0<em>Presentation at the Temple\u00a0<\/em>in the basilica di Santa Maria Assunta in Camogli and the\u00a0<em>Education of the Virgin<\/em>in the Capuchin convent in Voltaggio. During the revolutionary period, he was entrusted with the organisation of a museum in which were to be gathered the works confiscated from religious orders under Napoleon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scene presented in this drawing is inspired by Ovid\u2019s Metamorphoses. It shows Hercules placing his wife Dejanira on the back of Nessus the centaur who pretended to be willing to help them cross the Evenus, which had overflowed its banks, by carrying them one by one on his back. But when he got to the middle of the river, Nessus abused Dejanira and furious Hercules wounded him with an arrow. Finding his wound mortal, Nessus gave Dejanira a remedy against the infidelity of her husband, which in fact was a poison. She followed his advice and gave Hercules a tunic dipped in the remedy. Seeing the suffering of her husband, desperate Dejanira put an end to her life, and Hercules was soon consumed too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This drawing demonstrates a highly refined technique, rather typical of the artist\u2019s work and adopted from Genovese baroque artists: the penmanship in pen and brown ink is reminiscent of the \u2018Casa Piola\u2019, whereas the heightening with white gouache may be the influence of Valerio Castello and Gregorio de Ferrari. This gracious ornate sheet is still rather Rococo in spirit and can be compared to his\u00a0<em>Theft of the Palladium during the Trojan War\u00a0<\/em>(Palazzo Rosso, Inv. 1629,\u00a0Franco Sborgi,\u00a0<em>Pittura neoclassica e romantica in Liguria<\/em>, Genoa, 1975, p. 66, no.\u00a062, illustrated).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>Invitation to travel on a centaur back.<\/em><br \/>\nHercules Placing Dejanira on the Back of Nessus the centaur by Carlo Alberto Baratta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2102,"template":"","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[81,79],"product_tag":[24,210,345,353,93,26,206,416,27,207],"class_list":{"0":"post-2101","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-genoese-school","7":"product_cat-italian-school","8":"product_tag-18th","9":"product_tag-baroque","10":"product_tag-old-master-drawings","11":"product_tag-gallery","12":"product_tag-white-gouache","13":"product_tag-gray-wash","14":"product_tag-ovids-metamorphoses","15":"product_tag-n3","16":"product_tag-heightened-with-white","17":"product_tag-mythological-subject","19":"first","20":"outofstock","21":"taxable","22":"shipping-taxable","23":"purchasable","24":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hercules Placing Dejanira on the Back of Nessus the centaur by Carlo Alberto Baratta<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Invitation to travel on a centaur back.
