• Resumen

  • After the conclusion in 1610 of the initial cycle of "quadroni" for Milan Cathedral with episodes from the life and miracles of the recently-canonized Saint Charles Borromeo, a project to complete the cycle with other grand paintings took place in the 1680s. The new series was begun by Giorgio Bonola, known to scholars as the founder of the Accademia di Corconio and author of the "Codice Bonola", now divided between the museums of Warsaw and Santiago. A substantial group of studies and "modelli" by Bonola for the new cycle of Saint Charles paintings exists in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan, one of them boastfully declared by the artist himself to be a work by his master Carlo Maratti.
