After Annibale Carracci,
Italian 1560-1609-
The Virgin and Child;
oil on canvas, in a painted tondo, 55.8 x 50.2 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
After the fresco on plaster attributed to Annibale Carracci, which is housed at the King's Gallery, Kensington Palace [RCIN 408640]. The original, of similar dimensions to the present work, was initially thought to be by Raphael (1483-1520) until the date '1583' inscribed verso was discovered, and is a pastiche of Raphael's 'Sistine Madonna', c.1513-14, originally commissioned for the church of San Sisto, Piacenza and now in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden [AM-93-PS01]. There is also a copy (probably by Henry Cooke) at Melbourne House, Derbyshire, painted for Thomas Coke, Vice-Chamberlain of the Household, and set into an overmantel in 1706. Another at Christ Church, Oxford appears to have been made by J.C. Le Blon c. 1720-2 in preparation for his print of the same subject.
