Description: | This painting of the Virgin and Child seems to be by the same hand as a panel sold at Christie's, London, on 26 June 1970, lot 90, The Madonna Enthroned with Ss. Jerome and Catherine and a donor. Christie's attributed the painting to Amico Aspertini, but, according to Prof. Julian Gardner, the Canterbury panel is by Antonio Pirri. Pirri is known through a single document of 1511 when he was in Naples where he appraised the altarpiece painted for the Neapolitan church of San Pietro ad Aram by the Bolognese painter Antonio Rimpatta. Three signed works by him survive, while very few have been attributed to him on internal evidence. This panel was probably intended for private devotion. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin and Child) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Pirri, Antonio (Italian painter, active 1509-1511) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Italian (Umbrian) School Previously attributed to Pacchiarotti, Giacomo (Italian painter, 1474-1539 or 1540) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8859... | Go to resource |
