Descriptif du lot
A preparatory study, with a few differences, for the fresco of the same name in the church of S. Bartolomeo di Porta Ravegnana, Bologna (D.C. Miller, Marcantonio Franceschini, Turin, 2001, p. 132, figs. 34a and 34b). Two more highly finished preparatory drawings for Saint Bartholomew destroying the idols and Saint Bartholomew exorcising a possessed woman, the other frescoes by Franceschini for the chapel, are in the archives of S. Bartolomeo (Miller, op. cit., p. 133, figs. 34c and 34d).
