(Florence 1564–1607) Christ’s Descent into Limbo, signed lower left: ANDREA BOSCOLI DIPINSE, oil on copper, 45 x 32 cm, unframed Provenance: Collection of the Borni family, Fivizzano, Tuscany 1655; Collection of Contessa Elisabetta Della Rovere Ferrarese, San Vittore di Cingoli, Marche; thence by descent; sale, L’Antonina, Villa Rovere, San Vittore di Cingoli, 14–16 March 1996, lot 349 (as Andrea Boscoli); where acquired by the present owner Documented: Inventario di casa Borni a Fivizzano, 1655, curated by R. Barbieri, p. 4: ‘In studio […] Un quadro d’altezza di braccio fiorentino con la cornice d’intorno d’argento, et Arme de Borni, in cima pure d’argento, et dipinto nel quandro l’andata che fece Nostro Signore al Limbo a liberare i tanti Padri. Pittura d’Andrea Boscoli’ This refined painting on copper represents the biblical scene of Christ’s descent into Limbo as recounted in the First Letter of Saint Peter (3: 18-19): just before the Resurrection, Christ descended into the underworld to visit Hades to liberate the just souls, taking them by the hand. On the lower left of the painting a demon is shown crushed by the portals of Hell, which have been destroyed at the arrival of the Saviour; it is upon these that the artist signed his name. The various episodes of the Passion of Christ were among Boscoli’s preferred subjects, indeed in 1597 he executed a cycle of drawings on the theme which was subsequently translated into print by Pieter de Jode, and given to the press by the Sienese publisher, Matteo Florimi. The inscription ‘Monsignor Borni’ on the back of the copper support permits the identification of the patron as one of the two prelates of the Borni family who became bishops during the first years of the seventeenth century: Antonio Borni, who was appointed bishop of Castro in 1604 by Clement VIII, or Carlo Borni who succeeded him in this role in 1614, and who had previously served as bishop of Corone (Koroni) in Greece. The Borni were a noble family of ancient linage from Fivizzano, in the Tuscan province of Massa Carrara. Confirming this provenance, the present painting is clearly identifiable in an inventory of the Borni’s property drawn up in 1655, wherein it is described as ‘a painting one Florentine braccio high, with a silver frame and the Arms of the Borni above, also of silver, and painted in the picture the journey Our Lord made into Limbo to free the many Fathers. Painting by Andrea Boscoli’ – the Florentine braccio corresponds to about 58 cm, here the measurements evidently include the frame. The same inventory documents another work by the same author ‘un quadro dove è ritratta l’effigie di S. Francesco che dorme. Pittura d’Andrea Boscoli di lunghezza di braccio e mezzo, di larghezza di due braccia incirca con cornice ordinaria’ [‘a picture representing Saint Francis asleep. Painting by Andrea Boscoli one braccio and a half long and about two braccia wide with an ordinary frame], this may be another version of the painting now preserved in the Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Reale, Pisa (inv. no. 1780). The painter and draughtsman Andrea Boscoli trained in Florence in the studio of Santi di Tito. His style combines elements of Counter-Reformation painting derived from his master, with a more creative component inspired by the artists active in the Studiolo of Francesco de’ Medici in Palazzo Vecchio, including Jacopo Coppi and Mirabello Cavalori. During the 1580s the artist made a study trip to Rome which is documented by drawings and watercolours after antique sculpture and the works of Polidoro da Caravaggio. During his Roman stay Boscoli was also influenced by his exposure to the paintings of Jacopo Zucchi and Federico Zuccari. On his return to Tuscany, he dedicated himself to various important commissions such as the frescoes for the lesser cloister of San Pier Maggiore, Florence (1587) and those for the Villa di Corliano ai Bagni, Pisa (1592–1593) as well as those for the Carmelite church, the Carmine, Pisa, for which he also painted an altarpiece representing the Annunciation (1593). Between 1600 and 1605 Boscoli was in the Marches where his activity left a strong mark on local artists; during this period, he also began to study the new naturalism introduced in the Marches and Tuscany by Federico Barocci.

Penna e inchiostro bruno, pennello e acquerello seppia, su tracce di matita rossa su carta vergellata color crema. mm 235x158. Con montaggio: mm 270x193. In basso a destra il numero "3" puntato e al di sotto i versi "Al Re gridò non è, non è già rea costei del furto, e per follia se 'n vanta" (Gerusalemme liberata, II, 28,1-2). Applicato a vecchio supporto in carta vergellata pesante filettato in marrone scuro. Il foglio riconduce alla serie dedicata agli Amori de La Gerusalemme liberata (ovvero alle storie di Olindo e Sofronia, Erminia e Tancredi, Rinaldo e Armida) che il Boscoli eseguì con grande probabilità durante il soggiorno marchigiano tra il 1604 ed il 1608: da un documento redatto attorno al 1611 (manoscritto 539, Biblioteca comunale di Macerata, c. 88v) la raccolta, descritta in venti fogli, risultava già nella collezione del maceratese Luca Fei di Filottrano I fogli hanno misure e tecnica simili e recano un'incorniciatura con l'iscrizione dei versi ai quali sono riferiti. La serie pare tuttavia svincolata da un progetto pittorico, verosimilmente fu eseguita per esser tradotta in incisioni o per il puro compiacimento di un collezionismo colto. Attualmente sono stati individuati quindici esemplari tra collezioni pubbliche e private o passaggi sul mercato antiquario (Bastogi, 2008, pp. 202-207). In particolare un disegno di analogo soggetto è conservato all'Hermitage (inv. 25205, Bastogi, 2008, n. 526).

Ausst. Kat. "Disegni Fiorentini 1560-1640", Rom 1977, Nr. 64 mit Abb.). Gleichermaßen bestätigt auch der Vergleich mit einer im British Museum aufbewahrten Zeichnung einer "Almosenspende" (vgl.

Boscoli, Andrea: Sacra Conversazione mit dem hl. Hieronymus und anderen Heiligen
Est: €5,000 - €6,000
Sacra Conversazione mit dem hl. Hieronymus und anderen Heiligen. Feder in Braun, braun laviert. 26,7 x 17,4 cm. Links unten in brauner Feder von alter Hand bezeichnet „Mutiano in S. Pietro“. Auf dem Untersatzbogen in der Hand von Padre Sebastiano Resta in brauner Feder bezeichnet „Andrea Boscoli da MVTIANO in S. Pietro ridotto à suo stile“. Die Darstellung wiederholt ein Altargemälde für St. Peter in Rom, das Girolamo Muziano vor seinem Tod 1592 begonnen hatte, das jedoch erst von Paul Bril vollendet wurde. Es befindet sich heute in der römischen Kirche S. Maria degli Angeli (siehe den Artikel "Muziano" in "The Dictionary of Art", 1996, S. 393). Boscoli dürfte die Zeichnung vermutlich während seines Rom-Aufenthalts zwischen 1606 und 1608 ausgeführt haben. Eine Replik der vorliegenden Zeichnung befindet sich in den Uffizien (Inv. 14041 F, siehe Anna Forlani, in: Paragone XLV 43, 527, S. 7 mit Abb.; N. Bastogi, Andrea Boscoli, Florenz 2008, Nr. 118). Die Eigenhändigkeit der vorliegenden Zeichnung wird in einem Brief von Julian Brooks, Los Angeles, vom 17. Januar 1996 bestätigt. Brooks nimmt an, dass Boscoli diese wie auch andere Zeichnungen nach fremden Vorlagen für Sammler angefertigt hatte. Alt ganzflächig auf Bütten montiert. - Provenienz: Padre Sebastiano Resta (Lugt, vgl. 2992).

Two studies of an ‚corch‚ figure, after Francavilla with inscription 'Michael angelo Buonaroti' black and red chalk, pen and brown ink, brown wash on brown paper, on a fragmentary 17th Century mount 16 x 9 3/8 in. (408 x 236 mm.) PROVENANCE A. Marquet de Vasselot (L. 2499). An unidentified collector's mark, an encircled coat of arms. NOTES This is a study from two different angles taken from a remarkable bronze statuette of an ‚corch‚ attributed to Pietro Francavilla (1547-1615), a cast of which is at the Jagiellonian Library in Cracow (C. Avery and A. Radcliffe, Giambologna, sculptor to the Medici, exhib. cat., Edinburgh, Royal Scottish Museum and elsewhere, 1978, no. 194). The statuette is one of there different treatments of the ‚corch‚ figure in the Jagiellonian library, C. Avery, op. cit., nos. 192-4. The finest, and largest, of these Charles Avery is inclined to date to 1576 or earlier. The Uffizi has a number of such anatomical studies executed by Boscoli, all of which are of a similar size and technique to the present sheet (8227F, 8228F, 8230F, 8234F, 8235F, A. Forlani, Mostra di disegni di Andrea Boscoli, exhib. cat., Florence, Uffizi, 1959, no. 63).
