Carlo Maratta


Carlo Maratta - Master Drawings, Prints before 1900, Watercolours, Miniatures

(Camerino/Ancona 1625–1713 Rome)
A male nude, standing, red chalk on laid paper, old mounting, on laid paper and laid down on another laid paper, 56 x 41 cm, browned, stained, mounted, unframed, (Sch)

Provenance:
Collection Michelangelo Pacetti (1793–1865), Rome, Lugt 2057; Staatliche Museen Berlin, Kupferstichkabinett – removed from the collection as a doublette; Private collection, Italy.

The present nude study may belong to an early phase of Maratta’s work. It may have been executed at around the time when in 1647 Maratta worked on the fresco in San Giovanni in Fonte in Rome under the guidance of his master Andrea Sacchi. A comparable drawing with two male nude studies is preserved in the Museum Kunst Palast, Düsseldorf. Compare: A. Sutherland Harris, E. Schaar, Die Handzeichnungen von Andrea Sacchi und Carlo Maratta, Düsseldorf 1967, Cat. 204.

We are grateful to Prof. Francesco Petrucci for the scientific support and for the confirmation of the attribution after having examined the original drawing.
