Circle of Domenico Ubaldini called il Puligo (Florence 1492 - 1527) - Jesus and the Cyrenean. 56 x 44 cm (without frame) - 65 x 55 cm (with frame). Oil on panel, in an antique wooden frame. Features a typed label on the back: "Domenico Ubaldini called 'il Puligo' - 1492 - Florence - 1527". The painting depicts Christ full-length advancing, carrying the cross, accompanied by the Cyrenean who supports its weight on the right side. The two figures emerge from a dark background, in a compositional style common in Florentine painting of the early 16th century. Christ's face, slightly tilted, expresses a melancholic composure; the robe, in shades of carmine red fading into pink, is rendered with a soft brushstroke that reveals a skilled hand sensitive to chiaroscuro. The label on the back reads: "Domenico Ubaldini called 'il Puligo' - 1492 - Florence - 1527. A pupil of Domenico del Ghirlandaio, he was a collaborator of his son, Ridolfo, and primarily of Andrea del Sarto. He distinguished himself from all his contemporaries by the beauty of his coloring and the softness of his sfumato and contours, which softened the drawing of the outlines themselves. Given his short life, his works are rare and found almost exclusively in museums. 'Jesus and the Cyrenean' - Oil on panel." These stylistic characteristics, along with the information on the label, suggest attribution to the closest circle of the Florentine master.
