Saint Catherine of Alexandria (1530s). Jacopino del Conte (Italian, c.1515-1598). Oil on panel.Long associated with the workshop of Andrea del Sarto and previously published with an attribution to the master himself, this arresting depiction of Saint Catherine of Alexandria was correctly ascribed by Federico Zeri to Jacopino del Conte, one of Andrea del Sarto’s most distinguished pupils. Donati singles out Saint Catherine of Alexandria for special attention, suggesting that it could have been painted by Jacopino while he was still in Del Sarto’s workshop, its cool grace and technical finesse distinguishing the young artist among a constellation of budding stars. -- source link
