• Resumen

  • The author seeks to cast light on the Lucchese painter Antonio Franchi, with a focus on portraits and relations with patrons in his native Lucca. The article was prompted by the rediscovery of the Portrait of Rosa Maria Controni, referred to in the artist's Carte manoscritte housed in the Library of the Uffizi Gallery. The work was carried out on the occasion of Rosa's marriage to Federico Antonio Sardini, celebrated in 1701 when the sitter was seventeen, the age indicated on the inscription running along the upper contour of the oval canvas.
