The preacher of Roman origin (who died in 304), who had arrived in Siena to escape Diocletian\u2019s persecutions, is holding a bowl of baptismal water \u2013 the saint is also known as the \u201cbaptizer of the Sienese\u201d \u2013 and a flag with the colors of Siena in the other. As underscored by Marco Ciampolini, author of a study on the painting, \u201cone perceives the influence of the Sienese tradition\u201d in the work, from the personalities of Casolani to the controversial ones of the Caravaggesque Rutilio Manetti, but with the \u201cbroken and pictorial brushstrokes of the Baroque style\u201d which is, in our opinion, the salient aspect of this admirable painting. In fact, the work has been attributed with certainty by the expert to a painter from the late Seventeenth century, Dionisio Montorselli. His presence in Siena has been documented as of 1677 and he died in the city in 1710, he must however \u201cmust have spent some time in Florence, something which is suggested by the culture of his paintings, which above all bring to mind the changeableness of Pier Dandini, and his singular friendship with Francesco Maria de\u2019Medici, governor of Siena\u201d. Ciampolini compares this work, in particular, with the biblical heroes of the Tolomei College and with the Memoria Bichi at the State Archives of Siena; while the latter was formerly attributed to Francesco Nasini, the expert maintains it should be reattributed to Montorselli. Another very relevant comparison, we add, may be made with the two lunettes executed by Montorselli for the Oratory of San Giuseppe, with Saint Catherine of Siena and Saint Bernardine in a glory of angels \u2013 notice the typical chubby and benevolent physiognomies with curly hair \u2013 from the Nineties of the Seventeenth century. According to Ciampolini this painting may, in spite of the artist\u2019s uncertain chronology, be dated precisely to that period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\n<\/p><p>Publications:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cPittori senesi del Seicento\u201d, edited by Marco Ciampolini, Nuova Immagine Editrice, Siena, 2010, p. 385.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1490,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio-types":[46],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/3093"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3093"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-types?post=3093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
