We are grateful to Professor Riccardo Lattuada for proposing the attribution on the basis of photographs and suggesting that this is a later work by the artist. We are also grateful to Professor Alberto Cottino for confirming the attribution on the basis of photographs.
Carlo Manieri was originally from Taranto. However, his painting career was mainly in Rome. He has recently been described as one of the most misunderstood painters, due to the fact many of his paintings have been wrongly attributed to other artists. Manieri had a central role in Roman still life painting during the 2nd half of the 17th Century, acting as an intermediary between the archaic arrangements of Fioravanti and the elegant compositions of Christian Berentz and adding some of the motifs of Michelangelo del Campidoglio. (see G. Bocchi and U. Bocchi, Pittori di Natura Morta a Roma. Artisti italiani 1630-1750, Viadana, 2005, pp. 525-76.)
