Note du spécialiste


The figure in this drawing shows the same figure in reverse as that in the now almost entirely destroyed fresco by Pordenone (in collaboration with his son-in-law, Pomponio Amalteo (1505-1588) in the Church of Santa Croce, Casarsa (C.E. Cohen, The Art of Giovanni Antonio da Pordenone. Between Dialect and Language, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1996, fig. 681). Five further copies after the frescoes are known (ibid., p. 725, under no. 1).
