Scagliola panel on slate signed Sayter and dated, 1749
SILVER Seller in Cuneo, Italy
Item description
Refined scagliola panel on slate support from the 18th century. The work belongs to the genre of inlaid scagliola with an engraving effect which enjoyed great success thanks to the work of a family of German origin, the descendants of the great painter Daniel Sayter (1649-1705). Pietro, Amedeo and Vittoria Sayter carried out their activity in Rome and became famous for the use of red hatching on a white background to perfectly imitate sanguine engravings. The panel has the date 1749 at the bottom right and a signature at the bottom left which is partly missing due to a small gap in the support (see photo). However, the surname Sayter and the letters "oria" remain legible, probably attributable to Vittoria Sayter, making this panel one of the rare testimonies signed by a woman artist in the eighteenth century. The work depicts the evangelical episode of the Good Samaritan, rendered with very fine lines and narrative elegance. A man wounded by bandits and shunned by everyone is eventually helped by a Samaritan, a foreigner. A gesture that invites us to overcome social, cultural and moral boundaries to see the other as a brother. A rare and fascinating object, easily placed in any environment, perfect for enriching a wunderkammer, the so-called chamber of wonders. Non-coeval 19th century frame in carved and gilded wood, with some defects and signs of aging (see photo). Work with small scratches and abrasions, overall in fairly good state of conservation. Painting light H 13 x W 24 cm.
