Two Works: Pope Pius V & Saint Filippo Neri in Manner of Sacchi

About the Item

Monumental pair of oil on canvas religious portraits depicting two important figures of Rome. 1) Saint Filippo Neri (1515-1595) also known as Apostle of Rome, was an Italian priest, noted for founding a society of secular priests called the "Congregation of the Oratory". The portrait depicts the gray haired gentleman in fancy red and gold robe standing with gesturing hands having a boy figure holding a lily to the side and a pair of cherub faces in the sky. He has a gold halo above his head. A printed cardboard plaque inscribed as follows: "St. Filippo Nero Sacchi, Andrea 1598-1661 (Italian School)". NOTE: On reverse of stretcher is a Fogg Art Museum loan label No. 2775. Research indicates that it was exhibited January 5th-30th, 1933 and the owner was Harold Osgood Whitney of Watertown, MA. and at the time it was Attributed to Andrea Sacchi. 2) Pope Pius V, (1504-1572) born Antonio Ghislieri (from 1518 called Michele Ghislieri, O.P.), was Pope from 1566 to 1572, and is a saint of the Catholic Church. He is chiefly notable for his role in the Council of Trent, the Counter-Reformation, and the standardisation of the liturgy. Pius V declared Thomas Aquinas a Doctor of the Church and patronised prominent sacred music composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. The portrait depicts a standing older man looking upwards holding a white lily. At his feet is a fancy covered urn and he wears a gold decorated white robe with religious images. Above his head are two winged cherub faces. NOTE: On reverse of stretcher is a Fogg Art Museum loan label No. 2776. Research indicates that it was exhibited January 5th-30th, 1933.
