Lot No. 435


Ubaldo Gandolfi


(S. Matteo della Decima - 1781 Ravenna) attributed to,
St. Thomas, oil on panel, 49.5 x 24.1 cm, framed,

On the reverse a label from the Agnew Gallery, London, a fragmentary label from a gallery in Edinburgh as well as an excerpt from an English auction catalogue from the 19th century. The picture must have been part of a series of saints or apostles, since several images of saints in an almost identical format and attributed to Gandolfi have appeared on the art market in the last few years.

The paintings 421-447 originate from a Southern German private collection, which was amassed over the last few decades with great connoisseurship and art historical interest. The collector, a doctor, specialized from early on in 18th-century Southern German and Austrian oil studies and bozzetti, alongside a number of Italian works of a similar quality. Thus a small, but choice collection was brought together, characterized by its owner’s cultivated taste and knowledge of artistic interconnections.
