Lot Essay

The pendant depicting 'The Judgement of Solomon' is in the Galleria Borghese, Rome (della Pergola, op. cit., no.25, illustrated). Both pictures were formerly attributed to Pierfrancesco Foschi and were given to the Master of Serumido by Professor Zeri. They are copies of Filippino Lippi's now ruined frescoes in the portico of the Medici Villa at Poggia a Caiano near Florence
