Footnotes
The image of the Madonna in the present Madonna and Child is a loose redaction of the same figure in Lama's Deposition for one of the chapels in the Church of Santi Severino e Sossio, Naples. This latter work is dated by Leone de Castris to the early years of the 1590s, late on in the artist's career (see P. Leone de Castris, Pittura del Cinquecento a Napoli 1573-1606, L'ultima maniera, Naples 1991, p. 27)
We are grateful to Prof. Pierluigi Leone de Castris for confirming the attribution of the present work to Giovanni Bernardo Lama on the basis of a colour photograph.
