ATTRIBUTED TO BERNARDO CAVALLINO THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, OIL ON CANVAS, UNLINED, UNFRAMED
The present painting, which is likely a fragment, can be compared with the Madonna of the Immaculate Conception in the Museo di Capodimonte (Naples; on loan from the Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista delle Monache, Naples, see inv. no. 46). Fully attributed to Bernardo Cavallino (1616-1656) by Frederico Zeri (1921-1998) (inv. no. 20922), Ann Percy, in the catalogue of the 1984-1985 exhibition dedicated to the artist, considers the Naples painting instead to be a copy after, or an imitation of, the painter's work (A. Percy et al., Bernardo Cavallino of Naples, [exh. cat.], Cleveland, 1984, p.102).
