A Lost Portrait of Father Giambattista Martini and a Letter from Antonio Crespi to Maria Antonia of Saxony
Thomas Liebsch
Abstrak
This contribution presents an episode that bears witness to the cosmopolitan culture of Eighteenth-Century Bologna: it focuses on a portrait of the Bolognese musicologist and Franciscan friar, Father Giambattista Martini, painted by Antonio Crespi. Once kept in Magdeburg, but now lost, the painting is plausibly linked to an unpublished letter sent by the painter to Princess Maria Antonia of Saxony, in which he mentions the commission for a portrait of the Bolognese friar, requested from Crespi by the electoral princess during her stay in Bologna during her trip to Italy (1772).
