The baroque style that Giaquinto formed there took on a lighter tone after he moved to Rome in 1727, where he specialized in painting altarpieces and large decorative ensembles. In Rome his style also became more classicizing, and the kind of elegant sophistication that marks Giaquinto's mature works soon established his international reputation. Accordingly, he was invited to become court painter to King Ferdinand VI in Madrid, where he remained until returning to Italy in 1762 four years before his death. In Madrid Giaquinto painted decorative cycles glorifying the Spanish monarchy that are a direct precedent for those of his successor, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (whose 1762 \u003cem\u003eWealth and Benefits of the Spanish Monarchy\u003c\/em\u003e is in the Gallery's collection).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAutumn\u003c\/em\u003e represents the god Bacchus and other mythological figures lounging in a lush landscape. Dating from the artist's mature period, the 1740s, this work is in almost perfect condition. The painting forms part of a series of four allegories of the seasons: \u003cem\u003eWinter\u003c\/em\u003e also belongs to the Gallery's Italian baroque collection, while the canvases representing spring and summer are known today only through photographs. Both Gallery paintings, particularly \u003cem\u003eAutumn\u003c\/em\u003e, with its air of overripe, languid elegance, are superb examples of Giaquinto's art.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nga.gov\/artworks\/119006-autumn\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art Washington DC - Autumn\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corrado Giaquinto","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49937046438131,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (42 11\/16\" x 59 5\/8\")","offer_id":49937046470899,"sku":null,"price":3685.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (15 1\/8\" x 21 1\/8\")","offer_id":49937046503667,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (18 1\/2\" x 25 7\/8\")","offer_id":49937046536435,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (22 5\/8\" x 31 3\/4\")","offer_id":49937046569203,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (29 1\/4\" x 41\")","offer_id":49937046601971,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (35 1\/8\" x 49 1\/8\")","offer_id":49937046634739,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (41 3\/8\" x 58\")","offer_id":49937046667507,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (49 3\/4\" x 69 1\/2\")","offer_id":49937046700275,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/autumn_2001.123.1.jpg?v=1784360240","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/autumn-1","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
