RP.11 Madonna and Child in a Landscape<\/p><\/div>\n

Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, Bucknell University.<\/p>\n

Lindenwood panel, 67 x 50.<\/p>\n

Fig.RP.11<\/a><\/p>\n

Borgo, 1968 (see below), reported that an old photograph in the Witt Library of the Courtauld Institute \u201cshows that originally the Madonna\u2019s mantle was lined with a filet of gold at the borders and its surface was touched lightly in gold with horizontal strokes.\u201d\u00a0 This does not necessarily mean that the gold was part of the original sixteenth century state of the picture.<\/p>\n

Freedberg, 1961, I, 248-249, 607, II, Fig. 325, as Rosso, not later than 1512.<\/p>\n

Berenson, 1963, 210, as Sogliani.<\/p>\n

Borgo, 1968 (1976), 168, 170, 365-367, Cat. Rais. I, no. 31, Fig. 43, as probably begun by Albertinelli and completed by an assistant, apparently of 1514.<\/p>\n

Freedberg, 1972, I, 629, as not by Rosso, and by implication as by the Master of the Kress Landscapes (see Zeri, 1962).<\/p>\n

Ludovico Borgo, \u201cMariotto Albertinelli\u2019s Smaller Paintings after 1512,\u201d BM<\/em>, 116, 1974, 250, as partly by Albertinelli.<\/p>\n

Berti, 1983, 59, n. 1, mentions Freedberg\u2019s attribution as \u201cprimo Rosso;\u201d for Berti, \u201ctipo Albertinelli.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ciardi, 1994, 58, as not by Rosso.<\/p>\n

Capretti, 1996, 153, as formerly attributed to Albertinelli and related to his painting in the Seminario Arcivescovile in Venice and not included by Zeri among the works he attributed to the Master of the Kress Landscapes.\u00a0Capretti thought the Bucknell painting as among the earliest works of this \u201canonimo pittore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waldman, 1998, 467 and n. 76, Fig. 34, as \u201cjewel-like\u201d and by Giovanni Larciani, c. 1515; it \u201cprecisely reproduces the composition of a small painting in a private collection.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The attribution of this picture to Rosso has now generally fallen away, rightly it seems to me.\u00a0 Freedberg thought it was by Zeri\u2019s Master of the Kress Landscapes.\u00a0 Borgo recognized that it was a variant by Albertinelli and an assistant of a picture in the Pino Guzzardella Collection in Rome (Fig.RP.11 Variant<\/a>; Borgo, 1968 [1976], 362-364, Cat. Rais. I, no. 30, Fig. 42; and Borgo, 1974 [see above], 248, Fig. 17, 250), which he thought to be by Albertinelli in 1514.\u00a0 From photographs it is clear that the figures in the Bucknell picture are very similar to those in the painting in Rome, but I cannot quite see that the Bucknell picture is even partially by the same hand.\u00a0 It seems rather a more detailed version of the Rome picture with a different landscape very much like those by the Master of the Kress Landscapes, by whom it may very well be.\u00a0 This Borgo also recognized in relating the Bucknell painting to the Madonna and Child<\/em> from the Uffizi (RP.6<\/a>) and the Holy Family<\/em> in the Borghese Gallery in Rome (RP.20<\/a>).\u00a0 Waldman saw both as by Giovanni Larciani, whom he identified as Zeri\u2019s Master of the Kress Landscapes, in regard to the Rome picture, following upon Capretti, 1996, 153, as c. 1515, as begun by Albertinelli and, from Borgo, finished by an assistant \u201cche non \u00e8 escluso possa essere il Maestro dei Paesaggi Kress.\u201d\u00a0 However, Capretti noted that Zeri in 1962 did not include the Bucknell painting among the works he assigned to the Master of the Kress Landscapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
