Lot description
Marcantonio Bassetti, Italian 1586/88-1630- Christ's entry into Jerusalem; black chalk, pen, black ink, and wash on paper, watermark trefoil with AV (cf. Heawood 3104, Venice 1645), bears inscription 'Marc'Antonio Bassetti Veronese.' (lower edge), 29 x 20 cm. Provenance: The Reliable Venetian Collector [L.3005c-d], his inscription lower edge. Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 7 December 1993, lot 13. Property of the Late Professor Eric Gerald Stanley, FBA (1923-2018) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Stanley). Note: Bassetti studied under Felice Riccio (1542-1605) in Verona, alongside contemporaries Alessandro Turchi (1578-1649) and Pasquale Ottino (1578-1630), before travelling to Venice in 1605, where he met Palma il Giovane (c.1550-1628) and possibly worked in his studio. In 1616, Bassetti travelled to Rome, where he came into contact with the Caravaggism of Carlo Saraceni (1579-1620) and Orazio Borgianni (1574-1616), which heavily influenced his later output. The composition of the present drawing very much recalls that of a sketch by Bassetti depicting the same subject, produced c.1600-1610, and which is now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago [1982.455].
