Commentary:
Ottaviano was the son and student of Pietro Dandini (Florence, 1646-1712). This drawing has previously been considered close to Paolo Veronese (Verona 1528 – Venice 1588) because parts of at least two separate compositions by Veronese can be recognized: The Crucifixion with the Centurion (Dresden, Gemaldegalerie), The Deposition (Verona, Museo di Castelvecchio). The group led by the bishop (San Geminiano ?) may also reflect a knowledge of Veronese’s Consecration of Saint Nicholas (London, National Gallery).
