Resumen de Leonardo Grazia da Pistoia intorno al 1550
This article presents unpublished docuements and works by the Pistoiese painter Leonardo Grazia, among the most significant artists active in Naples during the 1540s and 1550s. This makes it possible to cast new light on the last phase of his carrer, which has received little scholarly attention. Os special interest is the addition to his oeuvre of a triptych with "Saint John the Baptist" between "Saints Zechariah and Elizabeth" in the Cathedral of Tricarico, in Basilicata, painted in 1550 at the request of the archdeacon Stefano Monaco. This work confirms the links already hypothesized by scholard connecting the painter and this region, which provided a decisive stimulus for the development of minor local masters in the closing decades of the sixteenth century.
