Expert opinion by professor Claudio Strinati: «It is a remarkable work, a precious testimony, in my opinion, of the first activity phase of the great Neapolitan painter who became one of the absolute protagonists of the Neapolitan artistic life of the first twenty-five years of the seventeenth century.The work here in exam, however, must be dated first and more precisely in the in which Santafede had the task, quite well documented in the sources, from the altarpiece of the main altar, depicting a Madonna and Saints, of Matera Cathedral, which although not signed is a certain and datable work around 1580-83. A comparison between the painting in question here and the colossal altarpiece from Matera confirms the reference to the young Santafede in our work as well as a similar dating, perhaps, for our painting, to be moved slightly forward, that is, to the middle of the last decade of the sixteenth century. The scenes from the life of Christ around are very noteworthy to the Annunciation, in which the influences of the greats are clearly noticeablemannerists especially (but not exclusively) industrious Flemish a Naples in the second half of the sixteenth century like Teodoro d' Errico or Aert Mytens. Furthermore, it is still very strong in these splendid and fervent scenes the influence of Marco Pino da Siena, the great painter who had a presence in Naples was decisive and also significantly influenced Santafedeat its beginnings. In the Annunciation, however, the connection is already evident, then favored by Santafede himself, with the great Florentine painting of the late Cinquecento on which Santafede, perhaps also under the influence of Belisario Corenzio who at that time in Naples held a sort of monopoly on larger clients, he modeled his magnificent stylistic signature of clarity and classical composure combined with a very noble and majestic expressiveness, also mindful of the lesson of the Roman school that he taughtcertainly knew and appreciated. Magnificently preserved, our painting is therefore a beautiful testimony to the decisive turning point in classical painting Southern in the latter part of the sixteenth century.

Medizin - - Christoph Barzizius (Barzizza). Christofori barzizii medici peritissimi introductorium in medicinam legenti cuilibet perutile. Mit Holzschnitt-Titelbordüre u. einigen Holzschnitt-Initialen. Augsburg, Sigmund Grimm, 14. XII. 1518. 63 unnum. Bl., 1 w. Bl. 4°. Flexibler Pergamentband d. Zt. (etwas fleckig). Einzige Ausgabe des 16. Jahrhunderts, von größter Seltenheit. - VD 16, B 619. - Durling 484 - Hirsch/H. I, 367 (falsch 'Wien') - Panzer VI, 151, 127. - nicht bei Adams, Bird, Lesky,Osler, Waller und Wellcome - Wohl eine der frühesten Einführungen in das wissenschaftliche Studium der Medizin aus der Feder des italienischen Gelehrten Christoph Barzizius. Eine Inkunabelausgabe, die 1494 in Pavia erschien, ging der hier vorliegenden voraus. "Christofo Barzizza, um 1400, aus Bergamo, Neffe des (Grammatikers) Gasparinus Barzizius, 1434-1440 Professor der Medizin zu Padua. Sicher eine von dem Humanisten gleichen Namens verschiedene Persönlichkeit" (GW 3672 zur EA Pavia 1494). - Dieser in der Offizin des Sigismund Grimm, Doktor der Medizin, entstandene Druck ist sicher als ein Versuch zu verstehen, die Erkenntnisse bedeutender medizinischer Kapazitäten aus den Universitäten Pavia und Padua nördlich der Alpen weiterzuverbreiten. Die Ausgabe belegt, daß das "Introductorium" nicht nur 1494, also viele Jahre nach dem Tod des Autors, einem Kreis von Medizinern (als Herausgebern) und dem auf Medizin spezialisierten Drucker Antonius Carcanus wichtig und wertvoll erschien, sondern auch später in Augsburg als Zusammenfassung der spätmittelalterlichen Medizin-Praxis empfunden wurde (obwohl die Pest darin nur beiläufig erwähnt ist - und die Syphilis-Problematik nicht erörtert werden konnte, da die Krankheit noch nicht auf Europa übergegriffen hatte). - Die schöne Titelbordüre ist abgebildet bei Pflug-H., Taf. 14. - Tadellos erhaltenes, breitrandiges, rubriziertes Exemplar. Titel mit handschriftlichem Besitzvermerk (Cart. in Buxheim, deren Bibliothek 1883 versteigert wurde), altem Bibliotheksstempel, ein weiterer Stempel im Unterrand von Bl. 2. Vereinzelt minimale Wurmgänge, Vorsätze erneuert. Medicine - With woodcut title border a. some woodcut initials. Cont. flex. vellum binding (somewhat soiled). - Exceptionally rare, only edition of the 16th century. - Probably one of the earliest introductions to the scientific study of medicine from the pen of the Italian scholar Christoph Barzizius. An incunabula edition published in Pavia in 1494 preceded this one. - This print, produced in the print shop of Sigismund Grimm, doctor of medicine, is certainly to be understood as an attempt to disseminate the knowledge of important medical experts from the universities of Pavia and Padua north of the Alps. The edition proves that the "Introductorium" not only appeared important and valuable to a circle of physicians (as editors) and the printer Antonius Carcanus, who specialised in medicine, in 1494, many years after the author's death, but was also later perceived in Augsburg as a summary of late medieval medical practice (although the plague is only mentioned in passing - and the problem of syphilis could not be discussed, as the disease had not yet spread to Europe). - Very well preserved, rubricated copy with wide margins. Title with handwritten ownership note (Cart. in Buxheim, whose library was auctioned in 1883), old library stamp, another stamp in lower margin of leaf 2. Minimal worming in places, endpapers renewed.

The present lot, however, shows a quality of enameling that comes rather close to the original model, thus indicating a date from ca. 1820-1880 or even a bit earlier.Auction result comparison: Type: RelatedAuction: Christie's Hong Kong, 3 June 2015, lot 3150Price: HKD 3,880,000 or approx.
