Benvenuto Tisi, Garofalo (Ferrara 1481-1559)

We are grateful to Anna Maria Fioravanti Baraldi for confirming the attribution on the basis of photographs (private communication, 21 November 2011). Dott. Fioravanti Baraldi considers the present composition to be a work from the artist's maturity, datable to the 1520s, noting similarities to the Madonna and Child with Saints in the Galleria Borghese, Rome (inv. 240).
