專家說明

COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:
H.W. Kruft, Francesco Laurana, ein Bildhauer der Frührenaissance, Munich, 1995, pp. 45 and 49.

In style, dress and physiognomy, the bust may be compared to the portrait bust of Ferrante I of Aragon, King of Naples (Louvre, RF 745), which was originally installed on the 'Porta Salvatore' at Sulmona, and traditionally attributed to Francesco Laurana or Domenico Gagini. More recently, the bust has been given to the hand of Pietro da Milano (c. 1435-1473), and dated to the third quarter of the 15th century.

An identical bust was offered by Sotheby's, London, 9 July 2008, lot 54, listed as 'Circle of Francesco Laurana' with a suggested identification of the sitter as Jean de Matheron, Lord of Salignac and Peynier (d. 1495), a nobleman associated with the Dukes of Lorraine.
