Expertise by Professor Claudio Strinati: «Very rare and very fine work by a notable Roman painter whose data biographical documents, however, are very little known and are preserved a core of certain and very significant works that demonstrate their excellencein the Roman artistic environment of the first half of the eighteenth century.
In faith,
In particular, it is possible to establish a convincing comparison between our the drawing in question here and the cycle of frescoes dated to the middle of the fourth century decade of the eighteenth century, which the painter executed, signing it, in convent of the Church of Santa Susanna in Rome, where the treatment of figures and landscape denotes similar finesse of drafting and intimate and quiet
feeling.
< div>These factors that bring the artist's experience back into the context of that vigilate and anti-rhetorical taste which already preludes, at least forty years earlier, to the noble eloquence of early Neoclassicism.Although we cannot indicate a precise relationship with a certain work of this Master, it is very possible that our drawing should be considered as preliminary study for an altarpiece today however not preserved or not yet identified, to be dated within 1730-35.Very valuable and well preserved, this drawing is a splendid testimony of the Roman eighteenth century, still rich and fertile with new discoveries and insights.In faith,
Claudio Strinati»
