Importante rilievo in legno policromo e dorato raffigurante scena con il martirio di San Giovanni Evangelista, scultore rinascimentale spagnolo o lombardo operante nella fine del XV secolo, prossimo al Maestro di Trognano, cm 117x105, Questo magnifico e sfavillante rilievo vanta due documentati passaggi in prestigiose collezioni come quella tedesca di Richard von Kaufmann (1849-1909), economista e collezionista assai importante nella Berlino della fine dell’Ottocento in stretti rapporti con il celebre storico dell’arte tedesco Wilhelm von Bode (1845 - 1929), direttore generale dei musei di Berlino e specialista nella scultura del Rinascimento. La provenienza dalla collezione Kauffmann è attestata da un cartellino cartaceo, apposto sul retro del rilievo che ripropone la didascalia del catalogo della collezione Kaufmann della quale, nel 1917, Bode scrisse il saggio introduttivo. Nella seconda metà del Novecento, l’opera vanta, fino al 1977, una altrettanto importante presenza nella collezione dell’antiquario fiorentino Carlo De Carlo (1932-1999), figura di spicco nel panorama internazionale, singolare figura di mercante e collezionista. In entrambi i passaggi collezionistici, che testimoniano il valore artistico dell’opera che ha attraversato i più raffinati gusti di quasi un secolo, il monumentale rilievo, forse proveniente da un complesso apparato come un altare, veniva attribuito ad un artista spagnolo del Quattrocento, probabilmente osservando la fastosa decorazione a ‘estofado’, una particolare tecnica espressiva peculiare della penisola iberica. Questa proposta attributiva, filtrata da studi più recenti che hanno restituito un panorama più articolato della diffusione di questa tecnica, presente anche in altre aree geografiche amministrate o in contatto con la Spagna, può essere ulteriormente vagliata: i modelli iconografici e stilistici della nostra composizione sono ascrivibili ad una matrice rinascimentale italiana, non trovando accordo con il mondo artistico spagnolo di fine Quattrocento, pervaso da influenze naturalistiche fiamminghe, che solo nei primi decenni del Cinquecento con artisti come lo spagnolo Alonso Berruguete o italiani come Jacopo Torni e Pietro Torrigiani, presenti nella penisola iberica, si aprirà alla culura del Manierismo toscano. In particolare, l’opera indica affinità con la produzione artistica del tardo-quattrocento lombardo, indagata, in anni recenti, da Raffaele Casciaro (2). L’autore del rilievo mostra, infatti, una cultura figurativa mantegnesca, attecchita nell’area padana in seguito all’attività di Donatello a Padova, che si diffonde anche nell’area lombarda ad opera di artisti di primo ordine come il cosidetto “Maestro di Trognano” e l’intraprendente bottega di Giacomo del Maino. Il ‘naturalismo padano’ che qualifica il rilievo, espresso nella muscolarità dei personaggi, dal “prognatismo” dei volti degli aguzzini o dal modo di intagliare i capelli a larghe ciocche, nonché l’uso delle sontuose decorazioni e scritte in oro, rimanderebbe ad alcune opere come i quattro pannelli raffiguranti la Passione di Cristo conservati al Museo civico del Castello Sforzesco a Milano o la Flagellazione presso il Monastero delle Romite Ambrosiane di Varese, eseguiti nell’ultimo quarto del Quattrocento ascritti al ‘Maestro di Trognano’, scultore di spicco nel panorama scultoreo dell’epoca.

Lot 68
Mortaio Fiorentino, 1500 circa, Forma tozza, cilindrica. Nonostante l’esecuzione leggermente approssimativa di proporzioni classiche: perfetta armonia tra il pesante basamento e il corpo a fregio. Il bordo sporgente composto da una strombatura e da un cavetto e da un profilo inferiore. La base si stringe verso il corpo da un pesante plinto attraverso un ovolo invertito e una scotia. Manici a S a forma indistinta di animale o vegetale. Intorno al corpo corre una fila a forma di balaustra con intervalli regolari e densamente spaziati a sezione triangolare, sette per ogni lato. H. 9 cm; D. 12,5; W. 13 cm Patina marrone caldo Sono noti altri tre pezzi simili: Vendita R. Tolentino (New York, American Art Association, 25 Aprile 1920, n° 239; H. 9,5 cm); collezione privata in Firenze (L.B. p. 74f, fig. 84; H. 7cm D. 12 cm); Collezione privata Americana (W.D. Wixom, Renaissance Bronzes from Ohio Collections, Exh. Cleveland Museum of Art, 1975, n° 5; H. 11.9 cm; D 17 cm). Quest’ultimo ha un’iscrizione: Bartolomeo. Daverrazaon. MCCCC..XX. Il nome è stato considerato come quello del produttore. È tuttavia più probabile sia quello del proprietario, membro di un’importante famiglia fiorentina, sepolto nella cappella di S. Croce. La data è controversa. La lacuna nella data potrebbe essere riempita da LX (1480), oppure CX (1530) o CL (1570) o meno probabilmente da XX (1440). I mortai decorati con balaustre di varie forme sono molto frequenti e sembrano aver goduto a lungo di popolarità. Confronto: vendita L. Grassi (New York, American Art Associations, 20 gennaio 1927, n°23), che ha le colonnine più ampiamente distanziate e medaglioni negli interstizi, che è anche una disposizione frequente. Letteratura: L. B. pl. XVI Altezza cm 9, diametro cm 12,5
