• Resumen

  • This article suggests new attributions for three painters active in Central Italy around 1500. It begins with three predella panels previously assigned to the Lucchese painter Michelangelo di Pietro Membrini but here linked to a documented altarpiece by the important Romagnol artist Giovanni Battista Bertucci il Vecchio. It then deletes from Bertucci's oeuvre a painting instead by a Lucchese painter: Vicenzo d'Antonio Frediani. It concludes by returning to Membrini and presenting three unpublished paintings by him. These new attributions, oscillating between the two distinct contexts of Lucca and Faenza, attest to the ongoing difficulties in properly attributing works by artists traditionally cast as 'provincial eclectics' whose careers deserve further attention.
