Thursday, June 26, 2025, Cambi Casa d'Aste dedicates an entire day to Old Master Paintings, presenting two highly prestigious auctions: “Dipinti Antichi” and “Old Masters”, two distinct yet complementary catalogues offering a complete immersion into the world of painting and drawing from the Renaissance to the early 19th century.

The works will be on public view at the Genoese headquarters in Castello Mackenzie, with free admission on Friday 20, Saturday 21, Monday 23, and Wednesday 25 June, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

The day of Thursday, June 26 will begin at 11:00 AM with the first session of the “Dipinti Antichi” catalogue, dedicated to works on paper (lots 1 to 82), followed at 2:30 PM by the second session featuring lots 83 to 239. Among the drawings, two works of rare quality stand out: a black chalk study of a male torso by Giovanni Battista Franco, known as il Semolei (lot 7, estimate €3,000–4,000), and a red chalk male head attributed to Parmigianino (lot 10, estimate €2,000–3,000). Highlights among the paintings include the “Pietà” from the workshop of Valerio Castello (lot 144, estimate €5,000–6,000), the “Mountainous landscape with travelers, shepherds and a tower” by Jacob de Heusch (lot 109, estimate €5,000–6,000), and the “Adoration of the Shepherds” by Francesco Zuccarelli, an oil on canvas with a luminous, atmospheric rendering (lot 200, estimate €10,000–12,000).
