Lot Essay

We are grateful to Dr. Mary Newcome for the attribution, made on the basis of transparencies. Bisciano worked in the studio of Valerio Castello, probably at the end of the 1640s. He was a celebrated draughtsman, but his documented paintings are few and the development of his oeuvre is not well known, due to his untimely death in a plague.
