Christ in Glory with Saint Lawrence, Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, and Saint Eligius.

Attributed to Ubaldo Gandolfi Italian
ca. 1766
Not on view
Recognized as a work by Ubaldo Gandolfi by Mimi Cazort (1982), this rapid sketch in pen and ink with the Christ in Glory, with Saint Lawrence, Anthony of Padua, Ignatius of Loyola and Eligius corresponds very closely to a painting of the same subject painted by Gandolfi in 1766 for the Church of San Mamante at Medicina (Bologna). Lawrence Turčić later found in the Kunsthaus Heylshof at Worms – at the time attributed to Giacomo Cavedone - another study by Gandolfi for the same painting, although with considerable differences in the attitudes and distribution of the figures (see References and Turčić 1986).
