The Virgin and Child with Saint Joseph, Attendant Angels, and a Group of Supplicants
Federico Zuccaro (Zuccari) Italian
Not on view
This dynamic sketch of the Virgin and Child with Saints is most closely related to the altarpiece in the Farratino Chapel in the Cathedral of Amelia, dating around 1559-64, but which includes in the foreground Saints Peter and Bartholomew, instead of donors, as in the drawing. A similar composition as in this sketch is recorded on a double-sided drawing at the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. 12281; 25.4 x 17.3 cm) with the Virgin and Child and St. Joseph on one side and a truncated, roughly sketched version of the entire composition on the verso.
