Abstract

The essay presents an unpublished painting, representing the Holy Family with the young Saint John and Saint Catherine of Siena, which is here referred to the sienese master Giovanni di Lorenzo, at the end of his career (around 1545-50). The new attribution allows to reconstruct the artist’s late activity, and to confirm the authorship of the Venus laying with two Cupids of Chigi Saracini Collection.
