MASTER OF THE CAMPANA TONDO
(active in Florence, early 16th century)
HOLY FAMILY WITH ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST IN A LANDSCAPE, ST. NICHOLAS IN THE DISTANCE
oil and tempera on panel
34.6 in.; 88 cm. diameter
Mér🙈ic Louis élie Moreau de Saint-Méry, Administrator of the Ducati of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla (1750 - 1819);
Marquis Fili𝔉ppo dalla Rosa Prati, Podesta of Parma (1763 - 1827).
This unpublished tondo has been endorsed by Emanuele Zappasodi and belongs to a group of tondos with the same subject and composition by the artist, painted around the turn of the 16th century. The presence of St. Nicholas in the background, u🧜nusual in depictions of the Holy Family, could be due to the patron's name.
