Footnotes

We are grateful to Prof. Nicola Spinosa for confirming that the present work is an autograph variant of the horizontal composition by Solimena dating to 1688-9, of which there are four other recorded versions. Two of these are on copper and two on canvas; he illustrates these in his recent monograph on the artist (N. Spinosa, Francesco Solimena e le Arti a Napoli, Rome 2018, pp 246-7). One version is on a similar scale to the present work and measures 99 x 145cm (op. cit. p. 247, no. 76d) while the other three studies are small.
