A SUPPOSED CERANO

Analizirajući podrobno malu sliku s prikazom »Krist u molitvi na Maslinskoj gori« iz crkvennog muzeja u Korčuli, autor utvrđuje stilske, tipološke, kolorističke i izražajne srodnosti s djelima Giovan Battiste Crespija zvanog Cerano (1557 — 1663). Na toj osnovi predpostavlja da je sliku radio taj lombardski slikar ili njegov krug. »Kristovo polaganje u grob« iz Gradskog muzeja u Novari, kao i neka djela iz Milana i Madrida učvršćuju ga u tom mišljenju, te u potpunosti otklanja dosadašnje uvjerenje da je taj tenebrozni rad mogao nastati u Veneciji oko 1600. godine.In a detailed analysis of the small painting Christ Praying on the Mount of Olives (Korčula\u27s church museum) the author determines stylistic, typological, coloristic, and expressive similarities with Giovan Battista Crepsi »Il Cerano« (1557 - 1663). Hence his belief that the painting was made by the Lombard artist or by one of his pupils. The Deposition in Novara\u27s Civic Museum, as well as some paintings in Milan and Madrid, confirm his belief and serve as a definitive proof that this tenebrous work could not have been created in Venice c. 1600
