Description
Acquaforte, metà del XVII secolo.
Esemplare nel secondo stato di due, con la dedica all’arcivescovo Paleotti.
Bellissima prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva con filigrana del “sole”, con sottili margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione.
Il Sirani, introdotto all’arte alla scuola del Possenti e del Cavedone, divenne successivamente il principale allievo di Guido Reni, con il quale collaborò in diversi dipinti e ne terminò tutte le opere incompiute alla data della sua morte. La sua opera grafica non ha ancora avuto una completa catalogazione e comprende circa una decina di lavori, con principale soggetto religioso.
La Lucrezia del Sirani è opera di probabile invenzione dell’artista. Rara.

Giovanni Andrea Sirani (Bologna 1610 -1670)

Father of Elisabetta Sirani, Giovanni Andrea trained initially with Giacomo Cavedone, then worked in the studio with Guido ReniPupil and became his principal assistant. Adherence to formal models of Guido Reni had entailed the risk of the dissolution of his painting in the areas of undifferentiated culture of Reni, hence perhaps the lack of information from the historiography on its activities, its production and its clients. He continued to work until the death of his daughter Elizabeth, in 1665.
