(Venice 1687–1767)
The death of St. Joseph, oil on canvas, 89.9 x 58.9 cm, framed,
Provenance: private collection, Venice.
Literature: F. Zava Boccazzi, Pittoni, Venezia 1979, p. 177, cat. raisonné no. 235.
Other examples of this composition produced between 1740 and 1750 may be found at Schloss Charlottenburg, Berlin, and at the Art Museum, St. Louis/Missouri.
The paintings 421-447 originate from a Southern German private collection, which was amassed over the last few decades with great connoisseurship and art historical interest. The collector, a doctor, specialized from early on in 18th-century Southern German and Austrian oil studies and bozzetti, alongside a number of Italian works of a similar quality. Thus a small, but choice collection was brought together, characterized by its owner’s cultivated taste and knowledge of artistic interconnections.
