About the Item
Tempera on wood depicting a half-length female figure;
she wears a red dress over a light-colored tunic, while a
green drape rests on her right shoulder. The red hair is
tied up with a central parting and is partly covered by a
white headdress; the full face has an absorbed
expression: a thoughtful gaze, arched eyebrows and
slightly furrowed lips.
Presented in a frame made with parts of an ancient
larger frame.
Historical-critical analysis:
Our table in question is one of the numerous derivations
from a lost fresco by Andrea del Sarto, made in 1522 for
a tabernacle located near Porta Pinti in Florence.
Although it has not reached us, the work is known
thanks to the main documentary sources, first of all
Vasari. The artist and biographer recalls the fresco as a
Madonna and Child with St. John the Baptist, Jesus in the
arms of his mother and the smiling little saint. An
interesting detail is how the Aretino, a frequent visitor
to the tailor's shop, specifies that for the face of the
Madonna he took as a model that of his wife, Lucrezia di
Baccio del Fede.
At the beginning of the eighteenth century the work was
already in a precarious condition (it is mentioned by
Bottari and Baldinucci), but at least until 1880 it was
still in existence (see Milanesi).
The fortune he enjoyed was certainly a lot, as evidenced
by the numerous derivations. John Shearman indicates
the various copies, characterized by faithfully
reproducing the figures, while greater license was
provided for the background, which is almost always
varied.
The table in question is part of this production,
proposing only the face of Mary. The physiognomic
features, the attitude and the absorbed expression are
fully reflected in the other known works. Even the acid
palette used is clearly an expression of the sixteenthcentury Mannerist taste of which Sarto promoted and
which was then adopted by the numerous artists of his
circle.

Circle of Guido Reni (Calvenzano 1575-1642 Bologna) 17th Century Portrait
Located in Nottingham, GB
17th century old master, oil on canvas (relined), housed in a Florentine giltwood frame.
Portrait of a female saint, Circle of Guido Reni (Calvenzano 1575-1642 Bologna).
Italian painter of popular religious works and critically acclaimed mythological scenes. He was born in Bologna and began to study painting at the age of nine; he joined the Carracci Academy when he was 20. His studies were rounded off by a trip to Rome in about 1600. From that moment on, antique and recent Roman art became his ideals. He admired Raphael unconditionally. He did, however, come to terms with Caravaggio's naturalism in a group of youthful works such as The Crucifixion of St Peter in the Vatican Gallery (1604), where the use of chiaroscuro provided enormous energy.
He alternated between living in his native Bologna and visits to Rome. After Annibale Carracci's death (1609) he became the leader of the classical school of Emilian painters. His adhesion to this school can be seen in the frescos he painted in Rome in about 1610 in the Quirinal Palace, the Vatican, and various churches (e.g. San Gregorio Magno...
