The painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Parmigianino of the common subject of the ''Circumcision of Jesus'' was made around 1523 and is now in the Detroit Institute of Arts, Michigan, United States. ==History== The Late Renaissance art biographer Giorgio Vasari described a ''Circumcision of Jesus'' by Parmigianino. However, his description does not match the Detroit painting: he described a series of characters holding torches and walking which do not appear in this work. The painting is known with certainty only starting from the 1830s, when it was part of the Russian imperial collection and was copied in an 1851 etching by J.W. Muxel. In 1917 it was acquired at Stockholm by A.B. Nordiska Kompaniet, which, a few years later, sold it to the American Axel Beskow. In 1936 he donated the work to the Detroit museum. The painting was not unanimously attributed to Parmigianino until 1991 The dating from around 1523 is based on comparison with early other works by the artist and by a preparatory drawing at the Cabinet des Dessins (inv. 6390) of the Louvre museum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Circumcision of Jesus (Parmigianino)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
