Lot Essay

We are grateful to Daniele Benati and Marco Riccomini for independently proposing the attribution to Bartolomeo Cesi, on the basis of photographs. Cesi frequently repeated his compositions and a variant of this composition, also on copper though with the addition of Saint Francis at far left, was with Galleria d'Arte Fondantico, Bologna in 2017.
