Milanese School, 16th Century

The Madonna and Child
oil on panel
37.5 x 29.2cm (14 3/4 x 11 1/2in).

Footnotes

Provenance
The Collection of Charles H. Senff, USA
His sale, Anderson Galleries, New York, 28 March, 1928, lot 11 (as Bernardino Luini)
With Durand-Ruel, Paris (according to a label on the reverse)
Sale, Sotheby's, New York, 27 May 1992, lot 283 (as follower of Marco d'Oggiono)

The composition of the present painting is closely related to a panel, 41.3 x 31.8 cm. previously with Schaeffer Galleries, New York, which Federico Zeri gave to Marco d'Oggiono (circa 1470-circa 1549) and which had previously been attributed to Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio. The composition of the body of Christ is also comparable to both a Holy Family by Marco d'Oggiono (on panel, 47 x 38 cm.) which was sold at Sotheby's London, 7 July 2005, lot 160 and to the figure of Christ in the larger composition depicting The Holy Family with Saint Elizabeth and the Infant Saint John the Baptist in the Bilblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan.

Charles H. Senff was an art collector and sugar manufacturer who collected paintings by, among others, Rembrandt, Rubens, Frans Hals, Velázquez, Corot and Hobbema. His collection was sold after the death of his wife, Gustavia Senff, née Tapscott, in 1927. Works from his collection are now in the Frick Collection and the Metropolitan Museum, New York.
