Madonna and Child, Saint Joseph and Angel
Tempera on wood, 53X37 cm
The panel is attributed to Guidoccio Cozzarelli (Siena, active from 1450 to 1517), a pupil and collaborator of Matteo di Giovanni. The painting has a composition peculiar to the artist and borrowed from Bartolomeo di Giovanni. Among Guidoccio's panels made with this register, we particularly mention the Madonna and Child kept at Amherst College and the one at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta (cf. B. Berenson, Pitture italiane del Rinascimento, Florence 1936, p. 136; B. B. Fredericksen, F. Zeri F, Census of Pre-Nineteenth-Century Italian Paintings in North American Public Collections, Harvard 1972, p. 58. Paradigmatic images often replicated by the artist with slight variations limited to the saints accompanying the main group.
