AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vincenzo di Antonio Frediani (Lucca 1481 - 1504) - Predella panel with the beheading of a female saint.
38 x 56 cm (without frame) - 50.5 x 67.5 cm (with frame).
Oil on panel, in a wooden frame.
Attribution confirmed orally by Prof. Andrea De Marchi.
Vincenzo di Antonio Frediani is one of the most representative Lucchese painters of the late 15th century, active in a culturally lively environment shaped by the presence of itinerant masters and by constant dialogue with Florentine and Pisan painting. His training reflects a provincial yet by no means isolated context: Lucca, a significant mercantile and religious centre, attracted important commissions and offered the painter direct exposure to the most current figurative tendencies of the time. Frediani is distinguished by a solid command of draughtsmanship, a restrained palette, and a volumetric treatment of figures that reveals the influence of the Tuscan tradition of the 15th century, with accents recalling the painting of Filippino Lippi and, more broadly, the Ghirlandaiesque milieu.
The panel depicts the beheading of a female saint, a subject recurrent in Lucchese and Tuscan devotional painting of the period. The horizontal format, characteristic of predella panels, organises the figures within an open setting with narrative balance. The plastic treatment of forms, the measured handling of light, and the quality of the drapery are consistent with Frediani's mature language, placing the work within the most significant core of his production.
Condition report: Panel with cradle. Good state of conservation of the paint surface, with minor localised abrasions and old retouching.
This item is sold with a certificate of authenticity with legal validity.
