Luigi Quaini
The Infant Jupiter Nursing from the She-Goat Amaltheia (The Birth of Jupiter)

c. 1700

About the Item

The Infant Jupiter Nursing from the She-Goat Amaltheia (The Birth of Jupiter) Red chalk and wash on off-white paper, c. 1700 Unsigned Attribuuted to Quaini by Dwight Miller, the scholar for Franceschini and his studio. Provenance: Private Collection, Oklahoma Note: According to Dwight Miller, this work is "a drawing of substantial quality" lacking the spatial intervals of his master, Franceschini. Miller attributes the drawing to "Franceschini's long-term loyal student Luigi Quaini (1643-1717) …who assisted Franceschini in all of his fresco commissions and large scale works". Quaini worked with Franceschini from 1688 until at least 1712. He may have assisted Franceschini with easel pictures up until his death in 1717. Since the subject is comparable to the Lichtenstein mythologies (1690-1710), a date of ca. 1700 is plausible. Reference: For Quaini, see G. P. Zanotti: Storia dell' Accademia Clementina di Bologna (Bologna, 1749), pp. 197-207; Luigi Lanzi, History of Painting in Italy (London, 1847), vol 3, pp. 159-160; Otto Kurz, Bolognese Drawings of the XVII and XVIII Centuries in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle (London, 1955), p. 115, cat. no. 334; Dwight C. Miller, Marcantonio Franceschini (Turin, 2001), pp. 53-62, 87, 419-422, and 435.
