AN ITALIAN TERRACOTTA RELIEF PANEL OF 'LO SPASIMO' (THE SWOON OF THE VIRGIN), PROBABLY AFTER GIOVANNI GONNELLI (1603-1664) 17TH CENTURY the Virgin in anguish supported by the 'Mary's' and to her right a kneeling St John, all on a narrow ledge 24.5 x 25cm This composition was originally attributed to Giovanni Della Robbia (1469-1529) then by some to Agnolo Di Polo (1470-1528), but many now think it is the work of Giovanni Gonnelli (called il Cieco da Gambassi, 'The blindman from Gambassi'). A number of versions exist, in particular as the centrepiece of the Chapel of Lo Spasimo, part of the Holy Mount at the monastery of San Vivaldo in Tuscany, in large format painted terracotta. A version of similar size to the present lot, with traces of paint, is held by the Princeton University Art Museum (No.y1937-269), as well as another cold painted version in the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest (No.84.23), one offered at Semenzato, Venice, 5 October 2006, lot 155, as well as a version at the 'Legne Chapel' at the Cappuccina in San Gimignano.
