• Resumen

  • New studies on three overdoors, in the Palazzo Reale in Turin, here reattributed to their rightful author, Marco Benefial, clear the path for further revisions and additions to the Roman artist's oeuvre. His authorship is proposed for a painting of "Saint Catherine Exhorting Gregory XI to Return from Avignon to Rome", the National Museum in Stockholm (formerly ascribed by Anthony M. Clark to Sebastiano Conca), the "Virgin and Child" in a private collection, the "Allegory of Faith" in the Lemme collection (the "modello" for the fresco of the same subject in the Palazzo Chigi-Zondadari, Siena), the "Maries at the Sepulchre" formerly with Dorotheum in Vienna, and the "Expulsion of Adam and Eve" formerly with Sotheby's, New York. Other works are also presented here, including the altarpiece with the "Virgin and Child with Saints Anthony of Padua, George and Lucy" in the parish church at Ostra and the "Portrait of Paola Odescalchi Orsini" formerly in the Orsini collection in Rome. Finally, the "Portrait of Filippo Bernualdo Orsini" in the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venice is attributed to Francesco De Mura, and the article concludes with a "Portrait of a Woman", signed and dated 1763, Benefial's last know work.
