16th Century Italian Painting Emerges From Private Island in Ireland After Hundreds of Years to Sell at Auction
Fri, Oct 18, 2024 11:40 EDT
A stunning 16th century religious work - possibly an altarpiece - by a leading Italian artist comes to auction for the first time on October 23 after resting in a private collection for hundreds of years. The Madonna and Child enthroned in a portico with Saints Catherine and Lucy promises to be one of the highlights of Sloane Street Auctions in London on October 23 after emerging from a private collection belonging to the Smith-Barry family - the Earls of Barrymore - of Fota Island, County Cork. The 31 x 35¼in panel was created by Benedetto Carpaccio (1500-c.5172), a Venetian artist famous for his altarpieces - one remains in the Cathedral at Trieste, another in the Palazzo Venezia in Rome. The Smith-Barry family acquired the picture in the 18th century and kept it on the island until the property was sold 50 years ago. The painting remained in the family and comes to market for the first time here.
