Prophets and Saints in Glory, after Bernardino Poccetti
Santi Pacini Italian
Not on view
This composition was drawn by Sante Pacini after Bernardino Poccetti's Paradise, a cycle frescoed around 1608 in the chapel of the Palazzo Gerini in Florence. Formerly owned by the French collector and connoisseur Pierre-Jean Mariette, the sheet was listed as a work by Poccetti in the sale catalogue of Mariette's collection (1775), under the number 67 ( "Huit sujets d'une grande composition, peints et exécutés à Florence par cet auteur, dans les Monastères de l'Annonciade et autres, dessinés d'après les tableaux, à la pierre noire, par Pacini.") Other drawings belonging to this group are in the Département des arts graphiques, Musée du Louvre, Paris.
