Santi Corsi
Madonna del Granduca, after Raphael

circa 1880

About the Item

"Madonna del Granduca", after Raphael Oil on Canvas: 34 x 22.5 in. Frame: 45 x 33 ½ in. Inscribed verso. Pitti Palace red wax seal verso*. Fine Gilt Carved Wood Frame. The Madonna del Granduca is a Madonna painting by the Italian renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Santi, 1483-1520), a principal work at the Pitti Palace in Florence, which houses the Palatine Gallery. Our Madonna was painted by the highly talented Florentine artist, Santi Corsi, whose workshop was only a 15-minute walk away from the Pitti Palace. He specialized in painting the rooms of the Palatine Gallery, documenting the masterpieces displayed and collected over the centuries by the Medici and Habsburg-Lorraine families. Santi Corsi had obtained permission to reproduce the paintings exhibited, and carry the wax seal of the Pitti on the reverse of many of his works. His painting of the public opening of the collection was bequeathed by the last heiress of the Medici family to the city of Florence at the beginning of the 19th century. Corsi’s interior painting ‘La Sala Di Apollo’ (Hall of Apollo) in Palazzo Pitti, shows Raphael’s Madonna de Granduca. Gallery notes: The red wax seal of the Pitti Palace strongly suggests Santi Corsi painted our Madonna at the Palatine gallery directly from Raphael’s, which allowed the artist to faithfully reproduce the work with such high quality. Presented in a Fine Gilt Carved Wood Frame. *Relined onto a new transparent support canvas with the wax seal re-sited on stretcher verso.

  • Hercules and Omphale, Old Master Painting, Mannerism, Baroque, Mythology, Prague
    Located in Greven, DE
    Hercules and Omphale Oil on panel, 52 x 41 cm According to legend, Hercules had to make atonement and became a slave to the Lydian queen Omphale. When she found out who her slave was, she married him. Falling for his mistress and made effeminate by the luxury of court life, the former hero allowed himself to become the laughing stock of the court. He dressed in women's clothes, spun wool and did other women's work, whereas Omphale wore his lion's skin and carried a wooden club. When the time of punishment was over, the hero realised his delusion and left Omphale. So far, the painting could not be clearly assigned to an artist. Nevertheless, it impresses with its fluid and convincing painting, whose colourfulness and conception are reminiscent of the Prague School around Bartholomäus Spranger. This work follows an engraving and an etching made by Michel Dorigny in 1643 after a design by Simon Vouet. It shows the same scene but the print differs in minor details from the present painting (see e.g. the head of the lion) and the treatment of the faces seems to be painted more detailed and refined. So far there is no painting...
