Doig, Wilson and Wheatly, 90 Georges Street, Edinburgh Provenance: Captain HCP Hamilton, Moyne, Durrow, Co. Laois and thence by descent Filippo Lauri (1623 - 1694) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period and was active mainly in Rome where he was born. His father Balthasar Lauwers was a Flemish landscape painter originally from An- twerp, and himself a pupil of Paul Bril. He Italianised his surname as Lauri when he settled in Italy. Filippo first studied with his father and then with his elder brother, Francesco Lauri. Afterwards, he worked under his brother-in-law, Angelo Caroselli. In 1654 Lauri became a member of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome, and later became the Principe or director of the academy. He painted, along with Filippo Gagliardi, a depiction of the Celebrations for Christine of Sweden at Palazzo Barberini (now at Palazzo Braschi), which demonstrates the exubert- ant pagentry common at the time. He is perhaps best known for his mythological subjects and Bac- chanalian scenes like the present one, have contin- ued to be popular. Numerous religious subjects are also recorded and many engravings were produced under his direction. € 3,000 - 4,000 548 A PAIR OF REGENCY MAHOGANY SIDE CABINETS, of rectangular form, each with plain top above a recessed grill panel door flanked by twin outset columns, shelved interior, supported on plinth base and com- pressed disk feet.
