| Production | See Lane, Arthur: French Faience (London: Faber & Faber, 1948). pl. 4A, p.6. The subject appears to be taken from a drawing by Giorgio Vasari in Bologna for the Pentecost of Sta Croce, Florence c. 1568 ( repr. C. Monberg-Gogurd and Walter Vitzthum, Dessins Inedits de Giorgio Vasari, Revue de l'Art, 1968, 1-2, p. 93, fig. 15). The subject differs in many instances from the painting (repr. P. Barocchi, Vasari, Milan 1964, pl.89, p. 140) |
