Resumen de Un 'Trionfo di Bacco' tra Modena e Roma: ipotesi per la provenienza di un quadro importante di Dosso
During the summer of 1621 Duke Cesare I d’Este planned on giving a painting of The Triumph of Bacchus to the Cardinal-Nephew Ludovico Ludovisi. As the relationship between the two families soured it seemed initially that this might hinder the success of the project, but when the situation gradually improved — as archival documents reveal — the planned gift appears to have been ensured. It is proposed here that the work was a painting of this subject attributed to Dosso Dossi (now in the Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, Mumbai), believed to have been part of the decoration of Alfonso I d’Este’s Camerino of paintings in Ferrara.
