He asks that the money owing to him for the commission should be paid to him through ‘Quel Signor di Rimino’. The drawing, at one time ascribed to Giovanni Liss, was attributed to Gandolfi by Dr. Oberhuber. The style is certainly very like his, and so is the hand-writing (compare the specimen of his handwriting in the Biblioteca Comunale in the Archiginnasio at Bologna: MS B 95 entitled <i>Gaetano Gandolfi. Notizie delle opera scritte di sua propria mano</i>). As Mr Pouncey has pointed out, the composition is inspired by Tibaldi’s painting of the same theme on a ceiling in the Palazzo Poggi, Bologna. There appears to be no documentary record of a picture of the Pentecost by Gaetano (or Ubaldo) Gandolfi. It is not in the fragmentary MS just quoted, but might possibly be found in one of the Oretti MSS in the same library, though Signore Bianchi in her book on the Gandolfi brothers used these sources to compile her list of lost works. It is a question whether ‘Quel Signor di Rimino’ who was to pay the artist his fee is thus referred to by his surname or whether he was a gentleman of Rimini. In the latter case, the picture was presumably painted (in 1766) for a church at Rimini. \r\n"},{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"p. 136","free":"Myles Campbell and William Derham.
