CIRO FERRI. The Virgin Immaculate Appearing to Four Saints

The Virgin Immaculate Appearing to Four Saints. Artist: Ciro Ferri (Italian, Rome 1634?-1689 Rome). Dimensions: 10 3/4 x 8 9/16in. (27.3 x 21.8cm). Date: 1634-89.
The monastic saints kneeling at the right of this composition may be Carmelites (possibly Saint Angelus of Jerusalem and Saint Mary Magdalen de' Pazzi), and the drawing could be a study for an oval relief. Ciro Ferri was responsible for the design of the choir of the church of Santa Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi in Florence, which he executed 1675-1701; however, no such composition occurs among the reliefs here. A black chalk drawing by Ferri in the Kunstmuseum, Düsseldorf (inv. vol. 2, g 2), is a study for the same oval relief: the figures are posed in the same way, but there is a greater expanse of landscape background seen beyond the balustrade. On a visit to the Museum, Jörg Merz (December 2004) tentatively proposed the attribution of the drawing to Pietro Lucatelli (ca. 1630- after 1690), a close pupil of Ciro Ferri.
