Presumably on the basis of the old inscription, this sheet was traditionally given to Correggio, until Sir Robert Witt and Hans Tietze disposed of that attribution. Lawrence Turcic attributed it to Bellini, whose draftsmanship was first clarified by Catherine Monbeig Goguel. She has accepted the Bellini attribution for the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ drawing.

The strongly emphasized hand gestures and the fluid pen and wash technique of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ drawing are characteristic of Bellini's style (Monbeig Goguel 1975, 353-54). Comparable sheets are in the Hermitage, the Louvre, and the Metropolitan Museum. The saint at the lower left can be identified as St. Andrew by his attributes, a large cross and a fish. No painting for which this sheet is a study has been identified, but Bellini produced a number of similar compositions of the Virgin and Child adored by saints and angels (Monbeig Goguel 1975, 353).

Artist Biography:

Although once believed to have been student of Federico Barocci (c. 1535-1612), the most important artist in Urbino in the later half of the 16th century, Filippo Bellini’s early training has not been traced. He presumably began his career in Urbino, as he is documented in the city in 1576. Records and surviving paintings indicate that he then spent most of his career in the province of Ancona and at Macerata. He worked primarily for the clergy, painting altarpieces and decorations for parish churches and oratories. Stylistically, his paintings are influenced by Barocci as well as Venetian art and late 16th century Roman artists, particularly Federico Zuccaro (1540/2-1609).
