About the Item

Giustino Menescardi (Milan, c. 1720 - Venice, after 1779) Ascent of Calvary Oil on canvas, cm. 47 x 36 - with frame cm. 57x43 Shaped and gilded wooden cassetta frame Publications: Bozzetti, modelletti, sketches: dalla collezione di Giorgio Baratti (From the Giorgio Baratti Collection) curated by Anna Orlando, Agnese Marengo and Annalisa Scarpa, Genova, 2022, pp. 62, 63. This painting is the work of Giustino Menescardi, one of the most talented artists who followed Tiepolo's painting. The scene depicted is that of the ascent to Calvary, the mountain on which Jesus Christ was crucified. In the foreground we can see the figure of Christ, dressed in red and crowned with thorns, falling under the weight of the cross carried on his shoulder. The figure of the henchman on the right of the composition is particularly valuable, revealing the painter's stylistic affiliation with the Venetian artistic milieu, an exquisite genre figure.
