Gaetano D'Agostino (Salerne 1837-1914 Naples) Pro Patria ad Erarum signé 'G.D'Agostino' (en bas à gauche) huile sur toile, dans un cadre important sculpté et doré signed 'G.D'Agostino' (lower left) oil on canvas 70.4 x 137.2cm (27 11/16 x 54in). in a carved and gilded wooden frame Footnotes: Provenance Private Collection, Italy Exhibited Munich Annual Exhibition, 1906 (according to a label on the reverse) Trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli, Gaetano D'Agostino was active as a painter of historical subjects, genre scenes, and decorative commissions throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He exhibited regularly in Naples, Genoa, and Turin, and completed major public decorations for institutions such as the University of Naples and the Chamber of Commerce. The present painting is a characteristic example of D'Agostino's interest in classical and allegorical themes, likely referencing the Roman civic ideal of donating personal wealth for the public good. Executed with academic precision and composed with architectural clarity, the work reflects the influence of Neo-Pompeian aesthetics and the patriotic undertones prevalent in post-Unification Italian art.
