Michele Pace, called Michelangelo del Campidoglio

We are grateful to Dott. Alberto Crispo and Dott. Gianluca Bocchi, who both endorse the attribution to Campidoglio on the basis of digital images. The watermelon at right, here, is almost identical to that with a knife in it, in the painting by Campidoglio sold at Christie's, London, 12 September 2018, lot 24.¹
