Boy with Vegetables
Boy with Vegetables. Ceruti, Giacomo 1698-1767. Born in Milan, Ceruti trained there and absorbed the north Italian interest in still-life painting associated with the work of Caravaggio. In northern Italy during the eighteenth century a fashion developed for paintings of peasants and beggars. Ceruti developed this genre by incorporating still-life details of game and vegetables and giving his peasants a new sense of dramatic solemnity. His work earned him the nick-name ?il pitocchetto? the painter of beggars. In 1721 Ceruti moved to Brescia where he produced an important early series of beggar and pilgrim scenes depicting the ragged poor that were quite unlike any previous representations of the genre. Ceruti?s Brescian beggar scenes are large in scale and devoid of the comic and anecdotal qualities usually associated with this style of painting. This late work is one of a pair of possible ?over ?doors? in which Ceruti returns to his early theme of ?portaroli? or basket-carriers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Boy with Vegetables," is a masterpiece by the Italian Baroque painter Giacomo Ceruti, born in Milan in 1698. Ceruti's artistic journey began in his hometown, where he was influenced by the Caravaggesque tradition of north Italian still-life painting. In the early eighteenth century, a trend emerged in northern Italy for paintings of peasants and beggars, which Ceruti transformed by incorporating intricate details of game and vegetables. His unique approach earned him the nickname "il pitocchetto," or "the painter of beggars." In 1721, Ceruti relocated to Brescia, where he created a significant series of beggar and pilgrim scenes. These works, unlike any previous representations of the genre, were large in scale and devoid of the comic and anecdotal qualities commonly associated with the style. This late work is one of a pair of "over doors," in which Ceruti revisited his early theme of "portaroli" or basket-carriers. The image depicts a young boy intently examining a selection of fresh vegetables, their vibrant colors and textures contrasting against the worn wooden table and the rough, earthy background. The boy's expression is one of quiet contemplation, adding to the solemnity and depth of the scene. Ceruti's ability to imbue everyday objects and simple subjects with a sense of drama and significance is a testament to his exceptional artistic talent. This print is an exquisite example of Ceruti's unique style and his significant contributions to the genre of beggar and still-life painting in northern Italy during the eighteenth century.
