A leaf from a Dogal Commission, with the arms of the Bon family of Venice [Venice, final quarter 16th century]
A sumptuous leaf from a commissioneto elected office, possibly made for Alessandro Bon (1514-1566), illuminated by an associate of the Huntington Master.
254 x 173mm. The miniature showing Alessandro Bon (1514-1566) being presented to Christ by St Mark, all within a Renaissance architectural frame with the arms of the Bon family of Venice, per pale, argent and gules (trimmed, a little cockled, a few tiny losses of pigment). Mounted and framed.
Illumination:
The style of illumination is comparable to a number of dogal commissions at the Fitzwilliam Museum (Marlay cuttings It. 50-54), which are attributable to the Huntington Master and his associates. The illumination of ducali was 'serially dominated' over the course of the 16th century by a succession of artists and their workshops (see H. Szepe. 'Distinguished Among Equals [...]', Manuscripts in Transition, 2005, p.442). The Huntington Master led one of the dominant workshops in Venice from the 1570s onwards: he is named after a cutting from a Ducal commission of 1578 (San Marino, Huntington EL 9 H 13, f.10) that opened a commission from Niccolo' da Ponte (1578-85) to Francesco Duodo as Captain of Brescia. Marlay Cutting It.54 is also a commission for a member of the Bon family: the holder is dressed in white (probably a Carmelite) and kneels in prayer before an altar.
