Object history

[Gallery Sambon, Paris]. [Italico Brass (1870-1943), Venice, by 1923, probably sold to or through]; [Count Alessandro Contini Bonacossi, Florence, sold 1937 to]; Samuel H. Kress, New York, K1114, gift 1961 to; Birmingham Museum of Art (1)The painting has been relined with a new stretcher. In the right upper corner of the new stretcher is written in pencil: "9359F". The backing has a NGA label: "#476, year 1939." Written in white chalk on the backing: "NG 476" and "+111+/ gal 33/ N-wall." (2)Arthur Sambon, born 1867, died by 1951 when his estate was sold in New York. He was the major dealer of works by Magnasco, active in Paris. (3)In 1949 Benno Geiger [Magnasco, Bergamo, 1949, p. 153, pl. 47] noted that the painting had been in the Kress collection since 1939 and previously in a private collection Venice. On page 145 he includes the BMA painting as "Paese con pellegrini e lavandare" in a long list of works by Magnasco in a private collection, Venice. Four years earlier Benno Geiger, "Saggio d'un catalogo delle pitture di Alessandro Magnasco 1667-1749", Venice, 1945, p. 75, had identified the same list as the collection of Italico Brass, Venice. This and two other paintings individually listed as related to each other in 1945 were already in the collection of Italico Brass in 1923, when they appeared as nos. 224-226, "Drei Landschaften mit Wascherinnen, Pilgern und Figuren. Große Hochbilder," in Benno Geiger, "Alessandro Magnasco," Vienna, 1923, p. 56. Italico Brass was an artist who was a friend of Geiger and passionate about Magnasco. Born in Austria, he was a student of K. Raupp at Munich Academy and of Bougereau [sic] and J.P. Laurens in Paris. He was awarded an Honorable Mention at the Salon des Artists Française 1894 and was included in the Exposition de Bruxelles, 1910. He worked for many years in Venice.
