Pair of oil on canvas paintings, depicting: "Animated Scene". Attributed to the Savoy court painter Pietro Domenico Olivero (Turin 1679-1755). Olivero was an attentive investigator of reality who knew how to transfigure it in a poetic way. The most poetic sketches are those that reproduce mothers with their children, the poor and the world of the defeated, a reality reproduced with great dignity, forming part of the social fabric of every age; a very popular genre among the Piedmontese nobility of the time, as happened for all the "bamboccianti". "The main commissions for the works of the "bamboccianti" were in fact the nobility and the upper middle class, both eager to elevate their social status" the paintings are both relined, and restored, one of the two, represents the battle of Governolo (or battle of Borgoforte), It was a battle fought on November 25, 1526 during the war between the League of Cognac and the emperor Charles V of Habsburg. It ended with a strategic success of the German militias of the Landsknechts sent to Italy by the emperor, who, after being defeated on the field by the troops of Giovanni delle Bande Nere, managed to seriously wound the leader with a falconet shot, fired at the end of the battle; the blow, due to the consequent gangrene, will prove fatal for the leader and the road to Rome will be smoothed for the Landsknechts., The carved and gilded frames are contemporary with the paintings; cm.65 x 56.5 (canvas cm.56 x 48)
