CATALOGUE NOTE
This impressive study of St. Peter is one of a number of bust- or half-length representations of saints which were made by Guercino throughout his career. See, for example, the series of Four Evangelists in the Staatliche Gemäldegalerie, painted by Guercino circa 1615, or the 1650 Saint Peter weeping in the Cassa di Risparmio, Bologna.1 Guercino's use of such apparently simple compositions created powerful devotional images, in which the contemplation of the saint became more personal and direct.

Nicholas Turner dates the drawing to the 1640s or 1650s and notes that the high degree of finish and contained composition indicate that it was made for its own sake, rather than being preparatory for a painting. Two comparable presentation drawings by Guercino, in red chalk and from the same period, are Diana Burning the Instruments of Love, in a private collection, New Haven, Connecticut, and a study of the Magdalen Praying in a Landscape, in the Morgan Library, New York.2

The fact that the sheet is laid down on canvas suggests that it may originate from Casa Gennari, where many of Guercino's drawings, as well as those by other artists from his collection and by his nephews Benedetto and Cesare Gennari, were similarly laid down in order to be hung on the walls. For further information on the Guercino drawings that passed to Casa Gennari, see D. Mahon and N. Turner, The Drawings of Guercino in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle, Cambridge 1989, pp. XVII- XXII.

CATALOGUE NOTE
Drawings of boats by Canaletto are very rare. One other, showing an anchored Venetian sloop, was formerly in the collection of Sir Bruce Ingram, and is extremely similar in handling to the present work.1 Also similar in conception, though apparently rather dryer in technique, is a Study of a War Galley, in Berlin, which Constable and Links catalogued as Canaletto with some reservations.2

The present drawing is, however, the only one of the three to include a figure, and the characteristic handling of this feature, together with the treatment of light on the water and of details such as the weeds hanging from the mooring ropes, confirm the traditional attribution to Canaletto. Particularly comparable in these respects are, for example, the View of Venice from the Punta della Mota, in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle, and the London: the Thames, looking towards Westminster from near York Watergate, at Yale.3
A boat similar to the one seen here appears in Canaletto's painting of The Bacino di San Marco: looking East, in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.4

А на аукционе Кристи старых мастеров и 19-го века вчера продали работу Монтичелли с очень интересным происхождением. Это одна из двух парных работ которые были сделаны по заказу императрицы Евгении и украшали ее личные апартаменты в Тюильри. Вторая работа часто публикуется и ее изображение тиражировано многократно. Потом обе работы входили в крупнейшую частную американскую коллекцию Католины Ламберт, где было 29 работ этого замечательного художника. Эта коллекция была продана в 1916 году на аукционе в НЙ и среди 24 топ-лотов наряду с Ботичелли, Веласкесом было 3 работы Монтичелли. И самое интересное, что стоили они на одном уровне с Моне, Ренуаром и Тернером.
Надеюсь, что работа досталась кому-нибудь из форумистов и это описание ее происхождения будет приятным дополнением.
