Style of GIAMPERTINO (1480/1485-1553) - Italian School of the 16th Century - Dimensions without frame: 27 x 23 cm. It has three small breaks in the paint that require repainting. It is possibly a panel painting (1480/1485-1553). Italian painter. It is assumed that he is the artist whom Leonardo da Vinci mentions on occasion, as he must have belonged to the Milanese circle. Numerous echoes of him can be found in Giampetrino's later compositions, which are like evocative universes of an elaborate religious asceticism not devoid of sensuality. His subsequent success is demonstrated by the extensive catalog of copies of his works. Giampetrino is represented in the Prado Museum with two works: Saint Catherine, from the Museo de la Trinidad, and Penitent Magdalene, which comes from the Florencio d'Estoup y Garcerán bequest and entered the museum in 1917. Private collection, Madrid.
