The Annunciation Attributed to Girolamo Mazzola Bedoli Italian Unusual for showing the annunciation of Christs birth as taking place in the Virgins bedroom at night, by candlelight, this vibrant oil sketch is rapidly painted on a rough panel and incorporates numerous changes. It is a precocious example of a modello—a proposal or model for a project that could be shown to the patron. Although it is related to an altarpiece Bedoli painted in the 1550s for a church in his hometown, near Parma, its high quality is worthy of Bedolis famous cousin, Parmigianino, to whom it was long attributed. It must predate the altarpiece by a considerable amount of time.. The Annunciation. Attributed to Girolamo Mazzola Bedoli (Italian, Viadana ca. 1505-ca. 1570 Parma). Oil on wood. Paintings

Angelica and Medoro possibly early 1630s Jacques Blanchard French The canvas illustrates a passage from Ludovico Ariosto's (1474-1533) epic poem Orlando Furioso (XIX:36), in which the two lovers engrave their names in the bark of a tree. Because the painting's surface is worn, the letters are no longer visible. In the early 1630s Blanchard decorated the galleries of private houses in Paris with series of narrative painting such as this. The soft lighting and languid nudity suggest the influence of sixteenth-century Venetian painting.. Angelica and Medoro 435672

Nymph and Shepherd. Artist: Johann Liss (German, Oldenburg ca. 1595/1600-1631 Verona). Dimensions: 41 1/8 x 37 3/8 in. (104.5 x 94.9 cm). Date: ca. 1625.Liss, from northwestern Germany, reportedly studied in Haarlem and about 1620 travelled through Antwerp and Paris to Italy. After a period in Venice he worked in Rome (ca. 1622-25), where he painted works eclectically reminiscent of Caravaggio's followers, Annibale Carracci, Rubens, and other Italian and Netherlandish artists. This poetic picture was painted under the influence of Titian's pastoral imagery (which inspired Poussin at about the same time). Not unlike the viewer, a passing shepherd has discovered a sleeping nymph who is at once intensely physical and a vision of innocent youth. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
