Salome with the head of John the Baptist
Est: €4,500 - €6,500
Oil on canvas 121x94 cm. Framed This dazzling painting faithfully replicates, except for a reduction that concerns the lower part of the composition, Salome with the Head of the Baptist, a masterpiece by Cesare da Sesto that first belonged to Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo and then to Emperor Rudolph II, and is now finally conserved at the National Gallery in London. Of the admirable prototype, this remarkable version recovers the dazzling, brightly contrasted colours and the studied elegance of the postures of the two protagonists. The extreme sophistication that constitutes the most salient feature of the original, the result of a particularly elaborate preparatory phase, is also pursued in our canvas, which traces the original invention, offering a faithful interpretation of it but declined in an even more markedly mannerist key.

Cesare da Sesto, Sesto Calende 1477 - 1523 Milan, Attributed
Est: €6,000 - €8,000
Cesare da Sesto Sesto Calende 1477 - 1523 Milan Attributed "Madonna con bambino" Oil on wood 35 x 27 cm, with frame 60 x 54 cm High quality original frame of the 16. century Wood-carved & original gilt Inscribed on the reverse The Italian Renaissance painter Cesaro da Sesto was a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) and possibly also an associate of Raphael (1483-1520). His painting style was characterised by a Lombard naturalism, imbued with a luminous colouring. He had a great exemplary effect through his important commissioned works, although the artist died early, before reaching the age of 50. Da Sesto paints the mother of God here with loving affection for the Child. Mary is depicted as a half-figure; the naked Jesus child stands in front of her on a bench or table. With his left hand he embraces the mother's neck, while Mary tenderly holds her child against her with her right hand. In her left hand she presents a book to the viewer. This is probably the Holy Scripture, the Bible, which already proclaims the Passion of Christ through its red colour Possibly for this reason her eyelids are lowered thoughtfully, her head inclined towards the child. Jesus looks past the viewer, but points to his mother with his index finger; almost as if he were communicating with her despite their lack of eye contact. The idyllic landscape with mountains and rivers in the background reveals an Italian city veduta with small staffage figures crossing a bridge on the right half of the painting. A work with similar loving gestures is in the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga in Lisbon, though here Mary holds both Jesus and the baby John on her lap. The painting also shows similarities with Raphael's Madonna di Foligno of 1511/12. However, the posture of Mary's head and the book as an attribute of wisdom are particularly comparable to the "Madonna del Libro" (Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan) by Sandro Botticelli (c. 1445-1510) of 1480/81, although here the book is not open, but is juxtaposed with the infant Jesus in an intimate scene, emphasising the important status of the Bible. Compositionally related pictures are the so-called "Madonna with the Pomegranate" by the Florentine painter Lorenzo di Credi (c. 1457/59-1536) from 1475/80 in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. (inv. no. 1952.5.65) and the Madonna by Sandro Botticelli from c. 1470 (National Gallery of Art, inv. no. 1937.1.21). However, Mary is not depicted here with the child on her lap, but in a more representative type with the addition of a table. The softly modelled, sensuous bodies in tender poses in particular reveal the parallels to his teachers. The drawing of a Madonna from da Sesto's album is particularly striking. It is a notebook with 36 drawings by da Sesto (Pierpont Morgan Library, New York). This study shows the loving embrace of the mother, who has lowered her gaze while the child looks towards the viewer.

Ganzfiguriges, hochformatiges Bildnis, das den Heiligen unter Bäumen in leichter Sitzhaltung wiedergibt, das Haupt nach rechts geneigt blickt er einem in Wolken erscheinenden Engel entgegen, der mit dem Zeigefinger nach oben zum Himmel weist. Der Heilige weist entblößte Beine vor, der linke Stiefel ausgezogen, am linken Oberschenkel die Pestwunde entsprechend der Heiligen Legende, wonach er sich als Krankenpfleger letztendlich selbst infizierte. Im linken Arm hält er den Pilgerstab mit Pilgerhut, in symbolischer Weise hat der Maler ihn mit einem roten Umhang bekleidet, darüber breiter, bestickter Kragen mit der Pilger-Taufmuschel des Heiligen Jakobus sowie dem päpstlichen Emblem mit Tiara und Petrus- schlüsseln. Am Boden - Attribut des Heiligen - ein Hündchen mit einem Brot, das der Legende gemäß den Heiligen in seiner Einsamkeit vom Hunger bewahrt hatte.

Giovanni Pietro Rizzoli, il Giampietrino (active Milan c. 1495-1540)
Est: $109,200 - $156,000
The Madonna and Child in a rocky landscape oil on panel 25 5/8 x 19 1/8 in. (65.2 x 48.6 cm.) with inscription '...originale di pietro perugino/1540...' (on the reverse) PROVENANCE Purchased by the grandfather of the present owners in circa 1920. NOTES This unpublished picture is, as Everett Fahy confirms after inspection in the original, an autograph example of a successful composition by Giampietrino. A good version, possibly that now in the Villa Albani, Rome, was engraved by C.C. Patin in her Pitture scelte e dichiarate, Cologne, 1691, p. 33. A very damaged variant, with notable differences in the landscape, but which was evidently of inferior quality, is in the Courtauld Institute, Gambier-Parry Collection. This panel is of French provenance and it may be significant that a copy is at Auxerre (no. 835.1.19, J.P. Sainte-Marie, Mus‚e des Beaux-Arts d'Auxerre, les Vingt Tableaux de la Collection Bernard, Auxerre, 1967, no. 19), and another example was in the collection of Ernest Raguit, Chƒtellerault; another, also apparently not of autograph calibre, was in the Benedict sale, Parke-Bernet, New York, 14 March 1951, lot 76. A picture at Modena, Galleria Estense, no. 228, was listed by Berenson in 1907 as by Marco d'Oggiono, but is regarded by D. Sedini ( Marco d'Oggiono, Milan, 1989, no. 120, illustrated) as being closer to Cesare da Sesto and Luini; Berenson gave a further version in the Herv‚-Math‚ collection at Le Mans to Marco and implied a close correspondence with the Gambier-Parry composition. The design of the figures is clearly an amalgam of motifs evolved by Leonardo, who of course was the dominant influence on the painter. W. Suida ( Leonardo und sein Kreis, Munich, 1928) pointed to a general connection with a Leonardo drawing of the Madonna and Child with a Cat (British Museum, no. 1860-6-16-100) in which the position of the Madonna's head is almost identical. The head of the Child is based on Leonardo's Madonna and Child with Saint Anne in the Louvre, or a related design. The foreshortening of the Virgin's right hand is also distinctly Leonardesque, recalling in its spatial function the design of the Madonna's hand in the Madonna of the Yarnwinder. While the Gambier-Parry and Modena pictures, and no doubt other versions, agree in showing, in the landscape, a group of thatched buildings, with on the bank above the spire of a church, clearly of transalpine character, in the present panel there is a castle above cliffs, with high alpine ranges beyond. This is very close to the work of Bernardino Marchiselli, il Bernazzano, the gifted landscape specialist who died in 1522 and collaborated with, among others, Cesare da Sesto - to whose bottega M. Carminati ( Cesare da Sesto 1477-1523, Milan, 1994, p. 6) considers Giampietrino to have had easy access.
