Description: | This work is closely related to a painting attributed by Berenson and others to Francesco Vecellio, Virgin and Child with St. Catherine and the infant John the Baptist at Hampton Court. The Torrie picture reverses the Hampton Court composition and it has been suggested that it was painted by an imitator of Vecellio from an engraving. Vecellio was the little known elder brother of Titian. He trained with Giovanni Bellini and imitated Giorgione. He lived very much in the shadow of his famous sibling whose work he imitated. He collaborated with Titian on frescos for the Scuola di S Antonio in 1511. His own work continued to reflect Titian's early style. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin and Child) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Vecellio, Francesco (Italian painter, born ca. 1475-1560) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to manner of Titian (Italian painter and draftsman, ca. 1488-1576) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8382... | Go to resource |
