Original Description
Bernhard Keil’s Due Fanciulli (allegoria Dell'udito E Dell'olfatto), created under his Italian pseudonym Monsù Bernardo, is a captivating Baroque masterpiece that immerses viewers in a world of youthful innocence and sensory allegory. Painted in the 17th century, the work depicts two cherubic children personifying hearing and smell—a common theme in allegorical art of the period. Keil, a Danish-born artist who trained under Rembrandt before settling in Italy, blends Northern European chiaroscuro with Italianate softness, resulting in a luminous yet intimate composition. The boys’ expressive gestures—one holding a flute, the other sniffing flowers—are rendered with delicate realism, while the warm, golden tones evoke a sense of harmony. This painting exemplifies Keil’s unique position within Baroque art, bridging the dramatic storytelling of Northern traditions with the elegant lyricism of Italian genre scenes. Though less widely known than his contemporaries, Keil’s works like Due Fanciulli are prized for their poetic charm and technical finesse, offering a refined alternative to the grandeur of high Baroque religiosity.
For interior styling, Due Fanciulli’s muted golds and earthy palette make it ideal for classic or transitional spaces. Hang it in a study or lounge with subdued lighting to enhance its Baroque warmth, pairing it with rich wood furniture and textured fabrics like velvet or linen. The 17th-century frame suggests an ornate gilt or carved wood surround to honor its heritage, though a minimalist float frame could create intriguing contrast in contemporary settings. At approximately 30x40 inches (hypothetical size), it commands attention as a focal piece above a console or fireplace without overwhelming mid-sized rooms. Complement its themes with subtle musical or floral elements—a vintage violin on a shelf, or peonies in a vase—to echo the allegorical motifs. In offices, it lends cultured sophistication to executive spaces, particularly when balanced with neutral walls and curated antique accents.
