EDITORS COMMENTS
Alessandro Magnasco's 'Picaresque Group with a Monkey and a Magpie' (1720/25) is a captivating drawing that showcases the artist's unique ability to blend the fantastical and the realistic. The scene is set indoors, with an elderly woman, dressed in the Rococo style, seated on a chair. She gazes intently at a group of men, who are engaged in a lively conversation. Among them is a monk, wearing armour, and two soldiers, one of whom holds a gun. A monkey and a magpie are also present, adding a playful and whimsical touch to the composition. Magnasco, also known as Il Lissandrino, was an Italian artist active during the 18th century. This drawing, executed in brush and brown gouache and brush and brown wash with touches of red and brown chalk heightened with white chalk over black chalk on blue laid paper discoloured to pale brownish gray, is a testament to his mastery of the medium. The use of black and white, with the addition of red and brown tones, creates a striking contrast and depth to the image. The title "Picaresque" refers to a literary genre that emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries, characterized by the adventures of a roguish and cunning protagonist. It is unclear if Magnasco intended this title to be a reference to the genre or simply a description of the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the scene. Regardless, this drawing is a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th century Italy and the artist's unique vision.
