Probably Flemish Master around 1600 Death of Dido Oil on canvas (relined). 120 x 102 cm. Exhibitions Women's bodies. The view of the feminine from Albrecht Dürer to Cindy Sherman, Heidelberg, Kurpfälzisches Museum, 24.10.2021-20.2.2022. Literature Exhib. cat. "Women's bodies. The view of the feminine from Albrecht Dürer to Cindy Sherman", Heidelberg, Kurpfälzisches Museum, 24.10.2021-20.2.2022, Petersberg 2021, p. 161, cat. no. 62 (as Flemish? 2nd half 16th century). The attribution of this interesting painting has not yet been clarified. Numerous stylistic elements identify it as a work of Northern Mannerism, painted around 1600, and it is probably the work of a Flemish painter who trained in Italy. The point of reference is Florentine painting in the style of Francesco Morandini, known as il Poppi, who is best known for his involvement in the decoration of the cabinet in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. Attempts to attribute the artist to the milieu of Rudolfine court art have not yet yielded any results. A connection to the work of the Flemish artist Gillis Coignet (1542-1599), who was also active in Florence, is recognizable.
