Follower of Guido Reni, Italian 1575-1642- The infant Christ sleeping on the cross; oil on canvas, bears inscribed label on the reverse, 55 x 62 cm. Provenance: Robert Norris. Sold at Cheltenham, 11 June 1863. Private Collection, UK. Note: The present picture appears to be inspired by an oil by Guido Reni, a copy of which is in the collection of the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool [WAG 2801]. It is also related to Cristofano Allori’s (1577-1621) Christ Asleep on the Cross, held in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, and to an oil of the same subject by Francesco Albani (1578-1660), sold at the Earl of Yarborough Sale, Christie’s, London, 12 July 1929, lot 6. The full-length, recumbent sleeping child is depicted draped in translucent cloth and lying upon a wooden cross. A very similar work, with minor differences, was sold at Phillips, London, 15 December 1998, lot 217.
