專家說明
This drawing comes from the so-called Bisi-Gibelli album, originally containing three hundred drawings by the most famous 17th and 18th Century Bolognese decorative designers. The album was presented by Luigi Bisi, president of the Accademia di Brera in Milan, to one of the pupils, Giuseppe Gibelli, for his exceptional accomplishments as a student. Upon graduation Gibelli emigrated to the United Sates and became a decorator of public buildings. At his death the album was sold and later disbound.
Other similar drawings by Minozzi with designs for ceiling decorations survive. Some of these sheets can be connected to specific projects, such as a drawing in the Princeton University Art Museum for Palazzo Hercolani in Bologna (inv. x1968-193; see G. Damen in Italian Master Drawings from the Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton, 2014, no. 89, ill.), while others, such as the present one, do not bear any indications about the commissions for which they were made.
