Having learnt the intricacies of her trade in the Paris art market, Ana Chiclana opened a gallery in Madrid around twenty years ago, with a view to growing the Spanish market in quality paintings and drawings by old masters.
She is focused on quality Spanish paintings. Her gallery has enriched museum collections in Spain and abroad Ana Chiclana has an office in Paris, giving her a point of contact to meet with those who are interested in Spanish painting.
She has been a member of the Syndicat des Négociants en Art since 2005 and of CINOA (the International Confederation of Art Dealers).
The gallery regularly takes part in national and international fairs such as the Biennale des Antiquaires since 2010 and Fine Arts Paris from 2021 to 2025.
Giovanni SALVI
dit Il Sassoferrato
(1609-1685)
The Virgin of the Annunciation
Circa 1650–60
Oil on canvas
74 x 60 cm
Provenance
Private collection
We are looking at a previously unpublished painting by Giovanni Salvi, known as Il Sassoferrato.
It was painted around 1650–1660 in Rome. It is one of the devotional paintings so characteristic of this Roman period.
Caravaggio’s influence is noteworthy. The delicacy of the face and the precise draftsmanship blend with the artist’s own naturalistic style.
The iconography of flower garlands in Sassoferrato’s work is rare; we know of only a few examples. It is highly likely that this painting is the companion piece to an Angel Gabriel that completes the depicted scene.
