Description: | Ventura Salimbeni was known as a painter, draughtsman, and engraver. Though this work is not strong, nor Mannerist in style, enough to be by his own hand, it is thought to be by a pupil or follower, though it is very hard to pin-point a precise attribution. During 1606-1607, Salimbeni was in Florence, producing several oil paintings for the Church of St Frediano, and demonstrating the influence of Ciglio in his use of colour. It has been suggested that this work may have been painted at around that time. The subject matter was certainly a favourite during this period, and aptly depicted the preferred attitude of supplication and sentimetal devotion. | Subjects: | religion (Madonna and Child; saints); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Salimbeni, Ventura (Italian painter and printmaker, 1568-1613) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to Italian School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8415... | Go to resource |
