Post lot text

BERNARDINO BARBATELLI, IL POCCETTI, HEAD OF AN APOSTLE (RECTO); ARCHITECTURAL STUDY, RED AND BLACK CHALK (VERSO)

This lively study of a saint’s head can be attributed to the Florentine artist Bernardino Poccetti, as suggested by the inscription at lower left. This inscription is in the characteristic handwriting of the Neoclassical painter Ignazio Enrico Hugford, who was an avid collector of drawings and owned a large number of sheets by Poccetti (on Hugford’s collection see F. Grisolia, ‘Non era da privato, ma da gran principe. Estetica e colore nella collezione Hugford’, in Lusingare la vista. Il colore e la magnificenza a Roma tra tardo Rinascimento e Barocco, Rome, 2017, pp. 321-337). Many drawings from Hugford’s collection entered the Uffizi, while others were sold. Although this study cannot be connected with a specific painting, the portrait-like features of the saint are reminiscent of the numerous figures frescoed by Poccetti in the church of Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi in Florence. On the verso of the sheet is an architectural study of a Doric architrave copied from Sebastiano Serlio’s treatise Regole generali dell’architettura (Venice, 1537, p. xx verso).
We are grateful to Francesco Grisolia for his assistance in cataloguing this drawing.
