拍品描述：
‡ ATTRIBUTED TO CARLO SARACENI (ITALIAN 1579-1620) DEATH OF THE VIRGINOil on copperStencilled 'L.A.' (to frame's verso, possibly a collector's stencil)37.5 x 28.5cm (14¾ x 11 in.)Provenance: Sale, Christie's, London, 14 December 1979, lot 47 (as F. Saraceni)Sale, Dorotheum, Vienna, 20 October 2015, lot 54 (as Workshop of Carlo Saraceni, for € 75,000)Carlo Saraceni produced several compositions depicting the Death of the Virgin. His most renowned interpretation of the subject was commissioned by the Discalced Carmelite friars for the Cherubini Chapel in Santa Maria della Scala, Rome. This painting was intended to replace Caravaggio's earlier version of the same theme, which had been rejected by the friars for its perceived lack of decorum.Saraceni's first version, completed in 1612, ultimately failed to meet the friars' expectations as well. They requested that the architectural background be replaced with a celestial glory of angels. Rather than modifying the original canvas, Saraceni sent the painting to Venice and quickly produced a new version, which remains in situ to this day. The first, rejected version was donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York by Richard L. Feigen in 2019.Various smaller versions on copper, such as this one, also exist. Feigen owned one such example, which had previously belonged to the artist Sir Peter Lely, as documented in Italian Paintings from the Richard L. Feigen Collection (Yale University Art Gallery, 2010, pp. 140-145, nos. 43 and 44).
