About the Item
Agnolo di Cosimo, known as 'il Bronzino' (Monticelli of Florence, 1503 – Florence, 1572)
The Holy Family with San Giovannino
Oil on table (120 x 90cm. - In antique frame 146 x 116 cm.)
The work comes accompanied by the expertise of Professor Stephan D. Pepper, dated 5.12.96 (Rome)
A painting of great charm and collectible relevance is examined, a high quality version of the famous 'Holy family with San Giovannino' created in 1528 by Andrea del Sarto (Florence 1486 - 1530), one of the most outstanding exponents among the protagonists of the full Florentine Renaissance.
Better known as the "Holy Family Borgherini" from the name of the client Giovanni Borgherini, a member of one of the most important Florentine families of the time, it is now kept in the Metropolitan Museum of New York (Inv. 22.75).
With this grandly solemn composition, Sarto confirmed that he was «the flawless painter», as Giorgio Vasari liked to call him: his figures are masterfully drawn, rendered with splendid chromatic harmony, and finally the relationship between the figures, arranged with an air of nobility , gives us a sublime choreography that connects the four characters.
The painting, commissioned in the same year in which Florence managed to free itself from the dominion of the Medici and declared itself a Republic, also contains a political meaning, with John the Baptist, the city's patron saint, who offers the terrestrial globe with the cross to the little Jesus Child, continuing but to shake it with his hands, to symbolize that both - therefore both the city and the Church - will act as protectors and guarantors of the freedom of the Florentine republic.
Considered one of the most important jewels of the Florentine Renaissance, a masterpiece of the painter's early maturity, it was one of the artist's most admired and copied compositions, enjoying particular fortune with Florentine collectors already at the time: this explains the numerous copies, autograph or workshops, which enrich as many international museums [1].
Although there is not, in terms of composition, a perfect correspondence between the original and the painting that we propose - which in fact slavishly reproduces the compositional structure - there are also differences in the pictorial layout and in the consequent appearance.
The very high pictorial quality that distinguishes this work allows us to associate its authorship with a leading author of Florentine origin of the early sixteenth century, who was able to restore all the original poetry, albeit personalizing it with his own stylistic imprint.
In particular, the pictorial material applied in a uniform way and the superb use of the nuanced, with a modeling that leads us - as suggested by Stephan D. Pepper in his report - to rediscover the youthful hand of Agnolo di Cosimo, know as 'il Bronzino (Monticelli di Florence, 1503 - Florence, 1572), undisputed master for the accuracy in the drafting of the pictorial material and the 'veiling' treatment, with which he made his painting glazed and transparent.
From the first works, Bronzino developed an unmistakable style, unique for its elegance, compositional balance, and chromatic splendor, with a unique pictorial power made possible by a modeling with decisive lines, which gives the figures a sculptural and smooth appearance similar to porcelain .
Elements such as the spots of light that illuminate the subjects, or the semi-transparent veil of the Madonna have been rendered here in a virtuosic way.

Ippolito Scarsella, known as Lo Scarsellino (Ferrara, c. 1550 - 1620) workshop
Holy Family with the Infant St John
oil on arched panel 46 x 29 cm.
in a small temple frame 75 x 55 cm
This interesting work shows us one of the most sought-after iconographic subjects in the Christian tradition, presented here according to an ancient and proven scheme. We see the Virgin, majestic, in the centre of the scene while holding a chubby child, who is offering a small bird to the young St John (tradition has it that it is a goldfinch, one of the symbols of the passion of Christ) to be caressed.
Completing the Holy Family, we can see Saint Joseph in the shadows, apart from the loving everyday scene depicted in the foreground, calmly leaning on his walking stick.
Regarding the stylistic characteristics of this small panel, it is easy to recognise the influence of 16th and 17th century Emilian painting, which leads us to confirm its traditional attribution to Ippolito Scarsella (circa 1550 - 1620) from Ferrara, undoubtedly one of the most important artists of this pictorial context. It could very well be a trial sketch...
