Tra Venezia e Mantova. Confronti per l’attribuzione dell’Angelo Annunciante di Palazzo Ducale

Gigliola Gorio aims to attribute the Archangel Gabriel of Palazzo Ducale in Mantua to the Venetian artist Andrea da San Felice, the author of the Doge Giovanni Dolfin monument, whose catalogue has been studied and deepened in recent years. The attribution is supported by stylistic analogies with the indisputable works of the artist, who belonged to Andriolo de Santis’ workshop. There are a lot of references to Gothic Venetian artists in 14th century sculptures in Mantova, for example in what remains of the monument to Guido, Francesco and Ludovico Gonzaga once in the church of San Francesco. A new fragment that belonged to this monument has been discovered in a private collection.
