About the book >.>.> Tornabuoni Arte presents by now for the third time its selection of antique works of art in a publication featuring a wide range of works chosen from the Italian and international markets. In an undeniably difficult moment for the world economy – and consequently for the antiquar- ian sector – Tornabuoni has continued on its chosen path confidently and without saving of means with even greater determination. Our approach reflects our absolute certainty of the fact that antique art will recover on a medium to long term basis. At the moment the valuations of antique items do not even approach the actual value of the objects which are becoming more and more rare with the passing of time and those who invest in works from the past centuries today will in a few years enjoy a certain and very substantial economic yield. We are profound- ly convinced of this. But let us get back to this year’s catalogue. The important role played by Raphael in art histo- ry and the influence of his mastery is witnessed by two interesting paintings the Madonna with Child angels and a worshipper attributed to his pupil Giovan Francesco Penni partially inspired by Giulio Romano’s Raphaelesque Madonna of the Cat and the Madonna with Child the Infant Saint John and bishop saint which has on the contrary been Bributed to Fermo Chisoni a pupil of Giulio Romano who combines elements taken from Raphael’s Madonna of the Rose at the Prado with others inspired by Emilian painting and Parmigianino in particular The two portraits of young newlyweds attributed to Frans Pourbus I are charming examples (MP)
