• Resumen

  • An unpublished "Lamentation", hitherto known only through local art history in Perugia. is a significant addition to the oeuvre of Giannicola di Paolo; the work dates from soon after 1510, when the artist's style, which had developed in the wake of pietro perugino, now evolved through the influence of Raphael. The painting was in the Meniconi collection in Perugia since at least the beginning of the nineteenth century, as documented by inventories published here for the first time. Bearing in mind certain aspects of Giannicola'a patronage and the specific iconography, which includes saints associated with the reformed congregation of Saint Justina of Padua, it is plausible that the painting was originally made for the Benedictine Abbey of San Pietro in Perugia.
