Description
Summary:Aceto discusses a double-sided drawing in the Ashmolcan Museum in Oxford, England, acquired as by Paolo Veronese in 1935 by the museum's former Keeper of Western Art, K. T. Parker. It shows Studies for a Holy Family on the recto and swift sketches, broadly described as Studies for the Beheading of a Saint, on the verso. While rejecting the attribution to the Venetian painter, Parker felt that the sheet could certainly be by a member of Veronese's school, perhaps by Antonio Vassilacchi, called Aliense, or Andrea Michieli, called Vicentino. He was confident in stating that the same artist of the Ashmolcan sheet must have executed a composition in pen in the collection of Robert Landolt, Zurich, Battle between the Venetians and the Turks, now attributed to Palma il Giovane.
