• Resumen

  • The monumental cycle of canvases known as the Fasti farnesiani (Piacenza, Museo Civico and Naples, Museo Archeologico) was commissioned by Duke Ranuccio II Farnese to decorate three rooms of the family palace in Piacenza with a narrative recounting the deeds of his famous ancestor, the condottiere Alessandro Farnese. This article brings a substantial revision to the discussion of these works, whose current attribution is based on slim documentary evidence suggesting most of them were painted by Giovanni Evangelista Draghi, with the partial collaboration of Sebastiano Ricci and other artists. Through a new reading of the documents, and above all stylistic analysis, the author affirms that most of the canvases were painted by Sebastiano Ricci between 1685 and the summer of 1687.
