Aunt Mimi on behalf of John

PAGE 036-38 2487.indd 2 31/03/2021 17:25:36 Earliest discovery

The Tomasso Brothers’ earliest discovery – “our first major find, in terms of its importance in the history of art” – happened in the firm’s early days in 1994. That year Dino Tomasso and his brother Raffaello walked into an auction house in the north of England and there on a table, unstretched and rolled up, was a “filthy dirty” painting. Dino recalls the brothers thinking they had stumbled across a Titian. “We were so excited when we bought it and through the help and keen eye of a close friend, we managed to come up with an attribution to Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo (c.1480-c.1548).” The brothers went home to their library to find the catalogue from a Savoldo exhibition held a few years before. “In there were two drawings for the two main figures in the painting.” With a possible provenance of ownership by the 16th Earl of Shrewsbury, John Talbot (1791-1852), and by descent in the Talbot family, a member of that family is thought to have given the painting to St Alban’s Roman Catholic Church in Macclesfield, Cheshire. Tomasso Brothers Fine Art sold the painting to the Art Institute of Chicago in 2001.
