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
Méric Louis élie Moreau de Saint-Méry, Administrator of the Ducati of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla (1750 - 1819);
Marquis Filippo 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This unpublished tondo has been endorsed by Emanuele Zappasodi and belongs to a group of tondos with the same subject and composition by the artist, painted around the turn of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, unusual in depictions of the Holy Family, could be due to the patron's name.
