17th century
For Sale by Regent Antiques
Description

This is a truly splendid antique oil on board Italian School painting of Jacob and Rachel at the Well, labelled Giacinto Gimignani, late 17th century in date

The meeting of Jacob and Rachel at the well is a foundational biblical event recounted in Genesis 29. It serves as a classic "betrothal type-scene" in ancient literature, where a future groom journeys to a foreign land and encounters his bride-to-be at a water source.

By 1630 he had settled in Rome, where he was the pupil of Pietro da Cortona, worked for Barberini and later for French patrons. In the 1650s worked in Florence, Pistoia and Lucca, before returning to Rome.

  • MaterialOil on Board, Gilded Wood

Italian Baroque painting of the 17th century is defined by dramatic narrative compositions, rich colour palettes, dynamic lighting contrasts, and classical storytelling often drawing upon biblical or mythological themes.

Artists during this era typically executed artwork using hand-ground mineral pigments suspended in drying oils, applied onto wooden panels or stretched flax canvas, and finished with varnish inside carved gilded timber frames.

Appraisers examine age-appropriate craquelure across the paint surface, timber panel shrinkage, natural pigment characteristics under ultraviolet inspection, and period-specific framing joinery.

A classical narrative painting can be positioned above a modern console table or fireplace mantel, creating a visual focal point through contrast between antique subject matter and contemporary design elements.

Store and display the artwork in a stable environment away from direct sunlight, moisture, and radiator heat, cleaning the frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush.
