The Madonna and Child 1600-50
Pen and ink, squared in red chalk | 16.3 x 12.9 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 903416
School of Guido Reni (Bologna 1575-Bologna 1642)
The Madonna and Child 1600-50
-
A drawing of the Madonna and Child, cut to an oval. The drawing is traditionally attributed to Guido Reni and is clearly of his school; Bodmer (note on mount) suggested an attribution to Francesco Brizio; Babette Bohn (verbally, 2005) to Lorenzo Lolli.
Provenance
Listed in George III’s Inventory A, c.1800-20: p. 80, ‘Guido &c. Tom. 5’, among ‘18 Drawings of Madonnas, most of them by Guido; etched by his scholars, these were in the Buonfigliuola collection’ (RCIN 903411-28). The Bonfiglioli inventory of 1696 does list 'Un Dissegno con la Mad.na e Putto di mano di Guido', but a provenance of 903418 from the Bonfiglioli collection is demonstrably wrong, and it is highly unlikely that all the others in this group came from that collection.
