The Ecstasy of Saint Agnes

We are grateful to Professor Mauro Lucco for the attribution, confirmed in a letter of 15 October 1998. He considers that this picture dates from the later period of Zugno's oeuvre, the 1760s or early 1770s, when the artist was still strongly influenced by the work of the Tiepolo family and of Francesco Fontebasso. Lucco compares this picture to Zugno's Saint Cecilia, in the Pushkin Museum, Moscow, no. 1553, which has been traditionally dated to 1742, on the basis of an inscription which is probably not original to the picture.
