RP.5 Madonna and Child<\/p><\/div>\n

Florence, Corsini Gallery, no. 93 (formerly no. 163).<\/p>\n

Panel, 87 x 61.<\/p>\n

Fig.RP.5<\/a><\/p>\n

The painting appears almost monochromatic under dark varnish.\u00a0 The children and their garments are shades of brown and tan.\u00a0 The Virgin, with brown hair, has a garment of pink-violet, the same color as the top of her headdress.\u00a0 The bottom of her headdress is whitish gray, as is the drapery across her back.\u00a0 The background is grayish green.<\/p>\n

LITERATURE:<\/p>\n

Goldschmidt, 1911, 49, as very near to Rosso, around 1522.<\/p>\n

Clapp, 1916, as a copy after Pontormo, perhaps by Jacopo da Empoli.<\/p>\n

Voss, 1920, I, 189, as perhaps by Rosso.<\/p>\n

Kusenberg, 1931, 130, as a copy after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Venturi, IX, 5, 1932, 230, as Rosso (?).<\/p>\n

Mostra del Cinquecento<\/em>, 1940, 67, as Rosso, around 1525.<\/p>\n

Becherucci, 1944 (1949), 28, as Rosso, of uncertain date.<\/p>\n

Barocchi, 1951, 86, 250, Fig. 58, as by an artist of the mid-sixteenth century, perhaps Naldini, and as either a liberal copy after Rosso or an exercise on a Rosso theme.<\/p>\n

Cecchi, A., \u201cA proposito del Poppi \u2018eccellente pittore diligentissimo e vaghissimo nel colorire,\u2019\u201d Artista<\/em>, 5, 1993, 71-72, as Poppi after Jacopino del Conte.<\/p>\n

Costamagna, 1994, 291-292, A49, Fig., accepts Cecchi\u2019s opinion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This painting, which had earlier been attributed to Pontormo, would seem to be by Poppi (Francesco Morandini).\u00a0 The faces, the formation of the hands, the angular drapery, and the chiaroscuro can be found in his Resurrection of the Widow\u2019s Son <\/em>in S. Niccol\u00f2, Florence (Fig.Poppi<\/a>),1<\/sup><\/a> and in such drawings as his Composition with several nude figures <\/em>in the Louvre (Inv. 9059; Fig.Poppi, Paris, 9059<\/a>)2<\/sup><\/a> and especially in his Annunciation<\/em> drawing, in the Fogg Museum, where there are almost identical strands of hair falling upon the Virgin\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n
