Resumen de Per il pittore Cosimo Re
A substantial number of Genoese artist of the fifteenth century are only known through a very meagre surviving oeuvre, complemented by archival documents relating to lost works. Such is the case of the painter Cosimo Re (son of Bernardo Re and active in Genoa between February 1459 and May 1471), the author of two panels, "Saint Thomas Aquinas in his study with a Dominican nun supplicant" (Parrish Art Museum, Water Mill, NY, Village of Southampton Collection) and "Saint Anne Enthroned with the Virgin and Child" (Genoa, Diocesan Museum). To these works there may now be added a panel with "Saint Dominic" (private collection), originally the right lateral element of a dismembered polyptych. Like the panel in the Parrish Art Museum (1471) this probably came from a site belonging to the Dominican order in Genoa, and it can therefore be dated to the latest period of Cosimo Re's known career.
