About the Item

Painting by GIACOMO FAVRETTO (Venice, 1849-1887) Vandalism (Poor Ancients) Signed lower right "G Favreto" Similar to the composition by Favretto (Canvas, 100 x 67 cm) kept at the Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan, of which we know a third version in a smaller format. The painting depicts Our Lady of Mount Carmel among the Saints by Giambattista Tiepolo. In 1721, he was commissioned by Giacomo Tonini to decorate the chapel of the Church of Suffragio del Carmine. In 1865, the canvas was sold and lost. In 1925, Modigliani found it in a Parisian antique shop, divided into two parts. Both were acquired by the Chiesa family and donated to the Brera Art Gallery. Favretto's work, also housed in the Brera Art Gallery, offers an ironic testimony: we see Tiepolo's canvas, now devoid of the Purgatory scene, and a painter eager to retouch the figure of Saint Teresa.
