Further details

ATTRIBUTED TO DOMENICO CRESTI, CALLED IL PASSIGNANO, RELIGIOUS PROCESSION IN A PORT WITH TWO BOATS (RECTO); TRACES OF ARCHITECTURAL STUDY (VERSO), PEN AND BROWN INK, BROWN WASH

This complex composition represents a religious festival. A procession of worshippers passes through the tower at the center of the drawing, followed by two men carrying a shrine or statue and bishops. A joyous crowd watches the scene from two fanciful galleys, from smaller boats and from the shore and a tower at right, while a salute is fired at left to mark the occasion. Contrary to earlier assumptions that the scene represented was the conquest of Constantinople by the Venetians in 1204 or the Battle of Lepanto against the Turks in 1571, the drawing was more likely intended to depict the transfer of holy relics.
A more precise identification of the subject might help with the attribution of the sheet, which has also remained elusive. The name of Domenico Cresti, a Florentine artist active for several years in Venice in the first half of his career, has been suggested on the basis of a comparison with drawings such as a battle scene at the Albertina (inv. 736; see V. Birke and J. Kertész, Die italienischen Zeichnungen der Albertina, I, Vienna, Cologne and Weimar, 1992, pp. 386-387, ill.).
