FEDERICO ZUCCARI, THE RESURRECTION OF THE SON OF THE WIDOW OF NAIN, BLACK CHALK, TRACES OF RED CHALK, PEN AND BROWN INK, GREY WASH

This powerful drawing is a significant addition to the corpus of drawings by Federico Zuccari, younger brother of the great Italian Mannerist Taddeo Zuccari (1529-1566), and himself an artist of great inventive power and skill as a draughtsman. It was made for the left part of Federico’s altarpiece depicting Christ raising the son of the widow of Nain (Luke 7:14-15), today in the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, Orvieto (fig. 1; see C. Accidini Luchinat, Taddeo e Federico Zuccari. Fratelli pittori del Cinquecento, Milan and Rome, 1999, II, pp. 37-38, 39, fig. 79). The painting and a second one, depicting Christ healing the blind man and commissioned for a different chapel in Orvieto’s cathedral, were commissioned in 1568, but only executed a few years later, in 1570, when Federico was still under the strong influence of Taddeo.

A drawing at the British Museum, London (inv. 1895,0915.573; see J.A. Gere and P. Pouncey, Italian Drawings in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum. Artists Working in Rome c. 1550 to c. 1640, London, 1983, I, no. 297, II, pl. 283), in which Christ faces left, must date from before the drawing offered here, whereas an outstanding double-sided sheet now in the Frits Lugt Collection, Paris, is closer to to the final composition and also relates to its left side (inv. 1975-T.12; see J. Byam Shaw, The Italian Drawings of the Frits Lugt Collection, Paris, 1982, I, no. 137, III, ill.). Highly finished versions which closely relate to the altarpiece as it was executed are in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (inv. RP-T-1889-A-2188) and the Musée du Louvre (inv. 4525; Gere and Pouncey, op. cit., p. 189). A study in black and red for the figure of the son, who lies on a bier and whose feet can be recognised at lower right in the present sheet, is recorded in a private collection in Toronto (E.J. Mundy, Renaisssance into Baroque. Italian Master Drawings by the Zuccari, 1550-1600, exhib. cat., Milwaukee Art Museum, and New York, National Academy of Design, 1989-1990, no. 58, ill.; Accidini Luchinat, op. cit., p. 39, fig. 82). A drawing in black and red chalk of one of the men to the left of Christ, related to the final composition, was at the sale Christie’s, London, 4 July 2023, lot 12.
