Très influencé par l’art <strong>de</strong> Pierre <strong>de</strong> Cortone, ce <strong>de</strong>ssin traite <strong>de</strong> l’histoire <strong>de</strong> Jacob<br />
(Genèse 29-15-30), également exploitée par le maître pour les Barberini dans <strong>de</strong>ux<br />
tableaux aujourd’hui au musée du Louvre et à la City Art Gallery <strong>de</strong> Bristol. Il est<br />
difficile <strong>de</strong> savoir à qui l’attribuer tant l’influence <strong>de</strong> Cortone se transmit par ses<br />
élèves à plusieurs générations <strong>de</strong> peintres. La douceur du graphisme et son aspect<br />
fondu rappellent la manière d’un <strong>de</strong> ses plus importants élèves, Giovanni Francesco<br />
Romanelli.<br />
Showing the clear influence of Pietro da Cortona, the present drawing treats the story<br />
of Jacob (Genesis 29-15-30) that the master equally treated in two paintings for the<br />
Barberini, today in the Louvre and in the City Art Gallery, Bristol. His influence passed<br />
down through his pupils to several generations of painters to such an extent that it<br />
is difficult to make an attribution. The soft draughtsmanship and smooth gradation<br />
of tones recall the manner of one of the most important Cortona’s pupils Giovanni<br />
Francesco Romanelli.<br />
