Lot 40: JACOPO CONFORTINI (attr.) Allegory of the Eucharist

JACOPO CONFORTINI (attr.)
Allegory of the Eucharist
Ink and watercolour on paper

According to us, the sheet, probable preparatory drawing for a frescoed frieze, has some points of contact with a drawing recently attri- buted to the Florentine master Jacopo Confortini who was not very popular; it is a Reserruction of Lazarus created with sanguine and white lead in Garofalo Collection (L. Bortolotti in: Raffaele Garofalo Collection. Drawings and sculptures. Edited by T. Strinati. Milan 2006, pages 44-45, 13). Actually, the Reserruction recalls our study in the shaded and soft rendering of the somatic traits and drapery.
