Amidst the majesty of the Baroque appears the name of François de Nomé, a French painter whose enigmatic oeuvre leaves a mark on art history. Born in 1593 in Metz, Lorraine, de Nomé moved at an early age to the beating heart of art, Rome. Here he spent eight years in the workshop of Flemish landscape painter Balthasar Lauwers before moving to the city at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, Naples. Our high quality fine art prints offer a window into de Nomé's creative years in these inspiring metropolises.
Until the mid-20th century, his works were attributed to the mysterious "Monsu Desiderio", a figure now identified as a collective of at least three artists: François de Nomé, Didier Barra from Metz and a still unknown painter. A distinctive feature of de Nomé's works are the figures, often added by other artists, such as Belisario Corenzio and Jacob van Swanenburgh. This process of collaborative creation is also reflected in our art prints, reproduced with the utmost care and accuracy.
A look at one of his works reveals to us an almost surrealistic, post-apocalyptic landscape. The motifs show bizarre, often dilapidated ruins or almost bare buildings. People become tiny figures amid earthy hues and blurred edges. A typical example is his depiction of the Piazza di San Marco in Venice: the structures are correct, but the details seem to come from another world. His style, while having little influence on Italian landscape painters of the next century, found its way into the works of painters such as Salvatore Rosa and Michelangelo Cerquozzi and reappeared in Piranesi's Capricci (whimsical and fantastic monuments, ruins, or buildings). The use of this unique style in our art prints allows art lovers to experience the surreal beauty and sublime aesthetic of de Nomé's work at home.
