Colnaghi presented an array of the finest Old Master and Ancient masterworks for our Summer Exhibition, which opened during London Art Week Summer edition, 2022. A highlight was Antonio Joli's serene view of Paestum, 1759, which reflects the renewed interest in antiquity during the Italian Baroque. Other spotlighted works included Rodrigo de Villandrando’s intricately detailed Portrait of a Noblewoman, c. 1620, a beautiful terracotta portrait bust by Charles Adrien Prosper d'Epinay (1836–1914) of Sarah Bernhardt as Hermione, c. 1903, and an important work by the female Renaissance artist, Fede Galizia, Still life of apples, pears, cucumbers, figs and a melon, c. 1625 – 1630.
