Blessing Christ
Inventory label from the Albert Figdor collection with number 25 verso. An adhesive label from the Figdor auction in 1930 with number 25 on the frame verso. Mixed technique auf panel. 58.5 x 40 cm. Plate bent. Sliding battens. Restored. Damaged. Framed (75.5 x 58 cm).

Der vor dunklem Hintergrund streng frontal und in halber Figur wiedergegebene Christus hat die rechte Hand zum Segensgestus erhoben. In seiner Linken hält er ein aufgeschlagenes Buch mit dem Text "Sit pax intranti. Benedictio quoque manenti" [i. S. "Friede sei mit dem Eintretenden. Gesegnet sei der, der bleibt"].

Theodor Frimmel publizierte das vorliegende Werk als "vermutlich Bartolomeo Montagna" (s. u.). Nach heutigem Wissensstand ist weder diese Zuschreibung noch jene (im Auktionskatalog von 1930 aufgeführte) an Cristoforo Caselli, gen. Cristoforo da Parma, haltbar. Dass der noch nicht identifizierte Künstler Kenntnis vom Schaffen des Andrea Previtali (um 1480 - 1528, Schüler Giovanni Bellinis in Venedig und ab 1511 in Bergamo tätig) hatte, ist unverkennbar. Stilistische Ähnlichkeiten hinsichtlich der Physiognomie des Auferstandenen finden sich bei einem "Segnenden Christus" wieder, der von Federico Zeri Marco Marziale zugeschrieben wurde. Marziale kann zwischen 1492 und 1507 in Venedig und Bergamo nachgewiesen werden (vgl. hierzu die Objektnummer 39021 der Fototeca der Fondazione Zeri, Bologna. (https://catalogo.fondazionezeri.unibo.it/scheda/opera/40944/Marziale%20Marco%2C%20Cristo% 20Redentore%20benedicente)
