Resumen de Una precisazione su Giacinto Gimignani
This article presents a new painting by the Pistoiese painter Giacinto Gimignani, and connections are made between the canvas (for which a preparatory drawing has been identified in the British Museum, London) and the city of Pistoia. It seems probable that the work was the preparatory model for an altarpiece destined for an important church in the Tuscan city � perhaps the Basilica of the Madonna dell´Umiltà � but which in the end was never executed. Hypotheses are made about the work´s patronage, in the light of the strong ties between Gimignani and the Pistoiese Cardinal Giulio Rospigliosi, who became Pope Clement IX in 1667.
