Francesco Trevisani - Master Drawings, Prints before 1900, Watercolours, Miniatures

(1656-1746) Studio of, The Birth of the Virgin, after the painting with the same title by Francesco Trevisani, c. 1726, red chalk, heightened with white, on laid paper, 43,5 x 34,5 cm, mounted, framed, (Sch)

The present drawing is presumably a Ricordo after a painting „The Birth of the Virgin“ by Trevisani, which was executed for the main altar in the church S. Cristina in Bolsena (Viterbo) between 1722-1726. A Bozetto for the painting is supposed to have been existant in the collection of cardinal Ottoboni; a smaller version on copper which is probaly a copy of a pupil is preserved in the Galleria Doria-Pamphilj in Rome. The church was considerably damaged in WW II; today the painting is in one of the side chapels of the church.
