Teodoro d'Errico il Fiammingo attr.

Description Attributed to Teodoro d'Errico the Fleming. Madonna with Child, Saint John and Saint Anne (after Giulio Romano's Madonna della Gatta) Oil on canvas cm 140x170 .. Brought back to a perfect condition of legibility by careful cleaning, this remarkable canvas constitutes one of the most singular products recently emerged from the pictorial panorama of the third quarter of the 16th century.. we are faced with an example of the Nordic painting season in Italy at a date which, if we are not mistaken, should be placed in the 1570s; and sooner rather than later. Our canvas literally reproduces, with some symptomatic variants, one of the masterpieces of the Roman following of Raffaello Sanzio; as well as one of the highlights of the museum and Real Bosco di Capodimonte in Naples.. if the hypothesis of a rather high chronology is valid, no less convincing seems the reference to a recognizable hand, not Italian if not by adoption: that Dirck Hendriksz Centen, originally from Amsterdam, who came to work in Italy at the end of the 16th century.. .. We are faced with an ancient replica, with perceptible variations, of one of the peaks of Giulio Pippi known as Giulio Romano and the early 16th century: the Madonna della Gatta, preserved in the halls on the first floor of the Museum of Capodimonte.. in all respects the new painting, which should not exceed the last twenty years of the 16th century, composes a critical essay, a lesson from painter to painter, on Giulio's Raphaelesque version but, be careful, completely reinventing it in a more softened and sentimental dimension.. the reference to Teodoro d'Errico is easily earned on a stylistic basis and proceeds from comparison with works by the master..
