Circle of Guido Reni (Bologna 1575-Bologna 1642)
The Holy Family 1600-50
-
A drawing of the Virgin and St Joseph in adoration either side of the Christ Child, laid in a cot or manger. Inscribed in an early hand 'Guido Reno', like 903419 (with which it is mounted).
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 903418-9 from the Bonfiglioli collection is demonstrably wrong, and it is highly unlikely that all the others in this group came from that collection.
