Siena school, 16th Century
Portrait of a male figure, dressed in the manner of antiquity,
oil on panel, 75 x 50 cm, unframed
Provenance:
S. Spinelli Collection, Florence;
sale Galleria Pesaro, Milan, 11.-14. June 1928, Lot 134 (as Domenico Beccafumi);
sale Galleria Bellini, Florence, 23.–26. April 1934, Lot 131 (as Baldassare Peruzzi);
European private collection
The present work is related to two paintings of the same format, a Fortuna and a Male Figure (Fototeca Zeri, Inv. 37678, Inv. 37679). The three panels were probably all part of the same larger commission. In late 15th century Siena it was customary to furnish the interior of palaces, in particular the bedchambers, with heroic scenes and exemplary individuals from antiquity, to serve as ‘exempla virtutis’.
The present painting is registered at the Fototeca Zeri as Bartolomeo Neroni known as il Riccio, under the number 37677.
We are grateful to Luca Mansueto for his assistance in cataloguing the painting at hand.
