FILIPPO TARCHIANI | ARTEMISIA DRINKING WINE MIXED WITH THE ASHES OF HER HUSBAND, MAUSOLUS

Julius Held collection, Bennington, Vermont;

By whose estate sold, New York, Christie's, 16 June 2009, lot 25;

There acquired by the present collector.

Mina Gregori first proposed an attribution to Tarchiani while the painting was in the collection of Julius Held (see Provenance). We are grateful to Professor Francesca Baldassari for endorsing the attribution and for suggesting a dating to the 1620s.
