About the Item
School of Antonio Allegri, known as Correggio (Correggio c. 1489 - 1534)
Attributable to Pomponio Allegri (Correggio, 1522 - Parma, 1593)
Madonna and Child, Two Angels and John the Baptist
Oil on wooden panel, cm. 92 x 69, with frame cm. 119 x 96
The work, whose format leads us to hypothesize it was intended for domestic devotion, illustrates a pleasant testimony of Emilian art of the full sixteenth century, with evident references to the school of Antonio Allegri, known as Correggio (Correggio c. 1489 - therein 1534 ), the undisputed master for the great elegance of his creations, perfectly calibrated between chromatic finesse and dynamic effect, obtained thanks to the concatenation of gestures and glances.
Taking Leonardo da Vinci's lesson to its extreme, he managed to grasp the most authentic link between the various figures, and moreover, by virtue of the expressive sweetness of his characters and the wide use of perspective, he established himself in the Po Valley as the most modern and daring bearer of the ideals of the Renaissance.
As we can also see in our beautiful table, he contrasted the explosion of Venetian color and Roman mannerism with a fluid, luminous style of strong emotional involvement.
Deepening the stylistic analysis, it is easy to place the authorship in the hands of Pomponio Allegri; the setting of the figure of the Virgin in particular, with the head slightly bent, the lowered gaze and the pose of her body recall, almost by copying it, the Madonna del Latte of Budapest made by her father.
The composition, extremely refined, sees the Madonna sitting with the Child supported on her knees, and is enriched by the presence of a couple of angels, one holding a branch full of cherries in his hands and the other offering a part of it. to the child, fruits alluding to the original Sin, by virtue of the red color of the blood of the Passion. Behind, finally, on the right, is a young St. John the Baptist, already with his typical attributes of a hermit in the desert, namely the camel fur and the rod with the cross.
Detail of pure poetry is then the glimpse that we can glimpse on the right, treated with a vigor and a spirit of modernity rare for the time, characterized by a bright color and a clear light, revealing a village and a suggestive castle perched.
Pomponio's production is very detailed, since in his works we can see amalgamated both the formal researches and the linearisms of the last Parma Mannerists and, above all, the distinctly classical stylistic features close to the art of his father, Antonio Allegri known as Correggio (Correggio c. 1489 - therein 1534).
He was trained in the paternal workshop and was a pupil of it, albeit for a very short time, they manifest the clear adherence to the taste and style of the master and the fidelity to his compositional and typological modules, which testify to the dependence of the art of Pomponius from that of the Correggio.
Pomponio's first works date back to around the middle of the century and the frescoes for the Corpus Domini chapel in the church of San Quirino in Correggio date back to 1546. In 1555 we know it then in Reggio Emilia where he will stay until the definitive move to Parma in 1559, enjoying some success on the part of the local client.
In the panel, which we can place at the full maturity of the painter, we note that the typology of the Virgin responds to a peculiar model of his production, characterized by a massive corporeality and, as we have already anticipated, an iconographic conception typical of Correggio.
The depiction scheme proposed in the painting also refers to the graceful paternal compositions: the characters, characterized by rigid and restrained gestures, arrange themselves in a diagonal pattern interrupted by the figure of Mary, steadfast and immobile in her still rather centralized position.

- Head of an AngelLocated in New York, NYProcaccini was born in Bologna, but his family moved to Milan when the artist was eleven years old. His artistic education was evidently familial— from his father Ercole and his elder brothers Camillo and Carlo Antonio, all painters—but his career began as a sculptor, and at an early age: his first known commission, a sculpted saint for the Duomo of Milan, came when he was only seventeen years old. Procaccini’s earliest documented painting, the Pietà for the Church of Santa Maria presso San Celso in Milan, was completed by 1604. By this time the artist had made the trip to Parma recorded by his biographers, where he studied Correggio, Mazzola Bedoli, and especially Parmigianino; reflections of their work are apparent throughout Procaccini's career. As Dr. Hugh Brigstocke has recently indicated, the present oil sketch is preparatory for the figure of the angel seen between the heads of the Virgin and St. Charles Borrommeo in Procaccini's altarpiece in the Church of Santa Afra in Brescia (ill. in Il Seicento Lombardo; Catalogo dei dipinti e delle sculture, exh. cat. Milan 1973, no. 98, pl. 113). As such it is the only known oil sketch of Procaccini's that can be directly connected with an extant altarpiece. The finished canvas, The Virgin and Child with Saints Charles Borrommeo and Latino with Angels, remains in the church for which it was painted; it is one of the most significant works of Procaccini's maturity and is generally dated after the artist's trip to Genoa in 1618. The Head of an Angel is an immediate study, no doubt taken from life, but one stylistically suffused with strong echoes of Correggio and Leonardo. Luigi Lanzi, writing of the completed altarpiece in 1796, specifically commented on Procaccini's indebtedness to Correggio (as well as the expressions of the angels) here: “Di Giulio Cesare...Category

- Portrait of a Young BoyLocated in New York, NYSigned and dated, lower left: Louise Hersent/ 1823 Provenance: Private Collection, Chicago, by 1996 Private Collection, Florida This charming portrait of a young boy is the work of Louise-Marie-Jeanne Hersent, a little-known woman artist of the French Restoration often identified by her maiden name, Mauduit. While Hersent—as we will call her here following the signature on the painting—has been understudied, the known details of her life and career reveal that she held a privileged position in artistic life in the early nineteenth century in Paris. She exhibited at the Salon from 1810 until 1824, and in 1821 she married the painter Louis Hersent, a successful pupil of Jacques-Louis David who was patronized by Louis XVIII and Charles X. It is likely through her husband’s royal patronage that Hersent’s Louis XIV Visits Peter the Great was purchased for the Royal Collection in Versailles. In 1806, while still Louise Mauduit, she painted a portrait of Napoleon’s youngest sister, Pauline Bonaparte...Category

This vibrant portrait of young man was traditionally considered a work by Jacques-Louis David, whose style it recalls, but to whom it cannot be convincingly attributed. Rather, it would appear to be by a painter in his immediate following—an artist likely working in France in the first decade of the nineteenth century. Several names have been proposed as the portrait’s author: François Gérard, Louis Hersent, Anne-Louis Girodet (Fig. 1), Theodore Gericault, and Jean-Baptiste Wicar, among others. Some have thought the artist Italian, and have proposed Andrea Appiani, Gaspare Landi...Category
