(Florence circa 1446–1497) Archangel Michael weighing souls; and A saint rescuing a soul from demons, oil on panel, each 20 x 58 cm, framed, a pair (2) Provenance: Private European collection We are grateful to Alessandro Tomei for confirming the attribution of the present paintings after examination of the original. The present pair of panels most likely formed part of the predella of a substantial polyptych, their considerable length suggests an altarpiece of notable scale. The first panel depicts the Weighing of Souls. At the centre of the image, Archangel Michael, in armour, holds a balance in his left hand and a sword in his right. To his right, a demon drags the sinner into the cavernous mouth of Hell, while to the Archangel’s left, a saved soul is borne by an angel toward a shining portal and the radiance of Paradise. The scene is enacted before a landscape with vegetation and distant mountains. A comparable landscape occupies the right-hand side of the second panel, while to the left of it a wall forms the backdrop to the narrative focus. A haloed saint rescues a nude figure, pursued and tormented by demons who then flee back toward the infernal cavern from which they emerged. For all the gravity of the subjects, both scenes are told with an almost storybook clarity and without heightened drama. The stylistic character of the panels, above all the refined, oval faces, the elegant, tapering hands, and the softly graduated modelling of the heads, together with the lucid, carefully structured landscape passages, points convincingly to the authorship of Francesco Botticini, who was active in Florence in the second half of the fifteenth century. In the fluid ecosystem of late-Quattrocento Florentine workshops, Botticini’s language intersects with that of the leading masters of his generation. An initial Botticelli-like grace gives way to a more decisively Verrocchiesque attention to the chiaroscuro of flesh tones and sculptural forms. The present panels seem to breathe the elegance and delicacy associated with Botticelli, in the same way that these qualities also inform Botticini’s celebrated Assumption of the Virgin in the National Gallery, London (inv. no. NG1126) which was painted for the Palmieri chapel in San Pier Maggiore. Significant further comparisons can be made with two predella panels in private collections (see L. Mattedi, L. Venturini, Ancora su Francesco Botticini, in: Studi di Storia delle arti, 35, 2024, pp. 91–104), which share the same exquisitely delicate facial types characteristic of Botticini. Affinities in the treatment of heads and costume are also evident when compared to The Archangel Raphael, Tobias and the portrait of Raffaele Doni as a boy in the Gallerie degli Uffizi, Florence (inv. 1890, no. 8676).

Francesco Botticini (Florentine, 1446-1497) "Madonna and Child (Madonna del Latte) with Two Angels", tempera on panel, 43-1/2" x 33-1/2". Presented in an antique Renaissance-style frame. Provenance: Private collection, Europe. Literature: Everett Fahy "Some Early Italian Pictures in the Gambier-Parry Collection", The Burlington Magazine, Vol. 109, No. 768, 1967, Moretti Gallery Pittori Attivi in Toscana dal Trecento al Settecento, Edizioni Polistampa, 2001. Francisco Botticini, an early Italian Renaissance painter, was the son of a painter of playing cards. He studied under Cosimo Roselli and Andrea del Verocchio. After a brief period as Neri di Bicci's assistant, he established his own workshop, known for its decorative work. From 1471 he was a member of the Confraternity of the Archangel Raphael at Santo Spirito and in 1472, Confraternity of St. Luke. His most famous painting is the "Assumption of the Virgin" now in the National Gallery, London. His style draws influences from his contemporaries, Sandro Botticelli, as seen in the composition and the treatment of the Madonna and angels in this particular painting, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Filippo Lippi and Andrea del Verrocchio. This panel was probably made for private worship and enjoyment which was widespread in the late fifteenth century.

Provenance: Stefano Bardini; his sale, Christie's, 7th June 1899, lot 356, as attributed to Botticini; bought by Leo Nardus (d.1955), Suresnes, near Paris; Arnold van Buuren, Haarlem; with him in 1925; bought by Mr and Mrs Peter Harris, 1955; with Peter Harris in 1963; with Clement Jeremy Harris in 1965; thence by descent. Exhibited: Birmingham, 'Italian Art', 1955, no. 22, as Botticini; Wildenstein & Co, London,'The Art of Painting in Florence and Siena from 1250 to 1500', Feb-April 1965, no. 62, as Botticini Literature: S.Reinach, 'Repertoire des Peintures', 1910, III , no. 339; Bernard Berenson, 1963, p. 146, pl.1055, as attributed to the Master of San Miniato; Lisa Venturini, 'Francesco Botticini', Edifir, Florence 1994, no. 26, p. 110, fig. 30; Everett Fahy, 'L'archivio fotografico storico di Stefano Bardini', Florence 2000 Further to the literature cited above, Everett Fahy of the Metropolitan Museum, New York, has kindly re-confirmed the autograph status of this work (written communication April 2008) Botticini began his apprenticeship in the workshop of Neri di Bicci in Florence at the age of thirteen, but stayed for only a short period; he later established his own workshop. The more significant influences on his work were Andrea Verrocchio, under whom he studied, Andrea del Castagno and, later, both Sandro Botticelli and Filippino Lippi. Indeed, an engraving of this composition was reproduced by Reinach as by Filippino. Many of the paintings now accepted as autograph Botticini works had been previously attributed to, among others,Verrocchio, Cosimo Roselli and the Master of San Miniato, to whom our picture was given by Berenson. The Three Archangels with Tobias of 1474, for instance, now in the Uffizzi, Florence, was believed to be by Verrocchio. Much of the earlier uncertainty in positively identifying Botticini's oeuvre was due to the lack of documented works. There is only one recorded commission, in 1484, from the Compagnia di Sant' Andrea for the Tabernacle of the Holy Sacrament for the Church of Sant' Andrea in Empoli, which was finally installed in 1491. It is now displayed in the Museo della Collegiata di Sant' Andrea in that city. There are clear similarities both in composition and detail between our picture and other altarpieces now accepted as by Botticini. The Madonna and Child with four Saints in the Musee Jacquemart-Andre in Paris (Venturini no. 20) depicts the Madonna in similar pose but facing left, with the Infant Christ standing on her lap, also in an architectural setting with stepped throne and trees seen beyond a high wall.

Francesco Botticini Florence 1446 - 1497 the madonna and child enthroned, flanked by two angels tempera on panel, gold ground, unframed 43.5 by 33.5 cm.; 17 by 13 1/4 in. The attribution is due to Everett Fahy who has inspected the painting in the original. He believes the painting to be a late work by the artist, datable to the early 1480s, comparable to the painting of The Madonna and Child with Angels formerly in the Gualino collection, Turin (L. Venturini, Francesco Botticini, Florence 1994, p. 120, cat. no. 56, reproduced fig. 91).
