| Production | Pelizzoni (see Bibl ref.) attributes it to Ferdinando Maria Campani, Siena 1745, but she doesn't explain why. Compare to the very similar, earlier large plate by Carlo Antonio Grue (Castelli, circa 1690) representing the same subject. This plate is with a privare London dealer. For image see Object Information File of 1665-1856. |
