Saint Augustine and the Virgin Adoring the Crucified Christ, Francisco Bayeu y Subías

"the present work was carried out circa 1766 and is an initial bozzetto for the fresco in the vault of the presbytery of the church of the convento de la encarnación in madrid, for which several preparatory drawings can be found in the prado, madrid. This work was formerly attributed to bayeu's master, the italian corrado giaquinto. His influence can clearly be felt in it, as much in the execution as in the reddish hue. Another, perhaps more finished, bozzetto for the work is with the real sociedad ecónomica aragonesa de amigos del país, zaragoza. Υ1 1. See morales y marín, 1995, under literature, p. 84, cat.
