Scuola lucchese (XVII) - Volto Santo di Lucca - XL format

Seventeenth-century Luccan painter Volto Santo of Lucca Oil on canvas, 119.5 x 94.5 cm (original frame) The painting constitutes a rare pictorial testimony linked to the veneration of the wooden Crucifix of the church of San Martino in Lucca. Its size makes it an important image intended for collectors, foundations, museums, or ecclesiastical sites in the Lucca territory. The work is datable to after 1657, the year in which the goldsmith Ambrogio Giannoni created the gold collar destined to adorn the bust of the sculpture. Two years earlier, the same goldsmith produced the sumptuous gold crown on a drawing by the Luccan painter Girolamo Scaglia. Today only a few other old paintings depicting such iconography are known; among the best known are the following: Giovanni Domenico Ferrucci (1619-1669): Lucca, Museo dell'Opera del Duomo Pier Filippo Mannucci (1601-1669): Lucca, Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio Paolo Biancucci (1596-1650): Viareggio, Church of San Paolino Francesco Buonamici (1596-1677): Rome, Church of the Holy Cross and Bonaventura dei Lucchesi Seventeenth-century Luccan painter: Lucca, Daniele Squaglia Antiquities
