Circulation of cultural goods

We would like to draw your attention to decree n°2020-1718 of 28 December 2020 modifying the regime for the circulation of cultural goods from 1 January 2021.

The main content of this decree is to raise the thresholds for the export of your cultural goods outside the national territory.

As a reminder, here is the link to the table summarising the raising of these thresholds.

The SNA has been working for many years in conjunction with the Observatoire du marché de l'art and the CNMA to obtain new measures concerning export thresholds. The SNA and all members welcome this progress.

However, the evolution of export thresholds is only valid within the European Union.

The SNA will soon hold discussions with the General Directorate of Heritage of the Ministry of Culture in order to work with it and in the best possible way on the possible extension of this increase outside the European Union.

Feasting with Old Masters

Feasting with Old Masters: from the pantry to the country fair

The Galerie Canesso invites you to explore some colourful compositions that will tickle your tastebuds.

Our current display will have you eating with your eyes as you gaze at still life paintings of fruits, fish, shellfish, poultry, and more... a feast of earthly nourishment.
The first guest is Giovanni Andrea Donducci, known as Il Mastelletta, whose canvas shows us fishermen preparing a picnic by the river’s edge for elegant members of the Bolognese nobility.
Humanity also makes its presence in pictures by Giacomo Liegi and Nicolò Cassana. In the scene by Liegi, a Flemish artist resident in Genoa, a man has come to pick up some seafood in a spacious pantry which also contains fruit and poultry. The lively brushwork of the second composition, by the Genoese painter Cassana, describes a magnificent cook busily plucking poultry, with a splendid turkey and a duck rounding off the scene.
Within the still life genre, the Lombard School is well represented by Panfilo Nuvolone, Fede Galizia and Giuseppe Artioli.
Nuvolone’s composition, an expansive still life painted between 1625 and 1628, can be interpreted as a vanitas painting, with a variety of objects symbolising the three stages of human existence.
The small-scale still life by Fede Galizia reveals a rare level of maestria and painterly quality, and speaks to us with a quiet note of poetic restraint.
Next come two delicate, small compositions by Giuseppe Artioli, active in Mantua in the 1700s. Sober and almost photographic in quality, these are painted in encaustic, a technique revived after the excavations at Herculaneum and Pompeii in the second half of the eighteenth century.
One cannot imagine Naples without thinking of stalls in a fish market – the kind painted by Giuseppe Recco, whose Cod and Herring in a Basket, with Spider Crab on a Stone Shelf makes a powerful visual impact, its elegant arrangement of seafood displayed with a remarkable, almost monochrome palette.
