Abstract
The author explicates four new attributions with hypothetical dates and provenances whenever possible. Padovanino's Lot and His Daughters (private ownership, whereabouts unknown at present) was item 85 at Nagyházi Gallery's 167th auction on 7 December 2010. The picture of a glaring colour scheme belongs to the late phase of the painter's oeuvre painted around the 1640s and may be identical with a painting of the same theme listed in Giovanni Maria Visconti's inventory of estate in 1674. Antonio Carneo's Annunciation was purchased by the Museum of Fine Arts in 1976 as a work by an unidentified North Italian master. The picture showing both cinquecento (Tintoretto) and seicento (Fetti, Strozzi) influences was presumably painted in Udine around 1680. The restoration begun in 1981 was interrupted. The two pigeons in the originally added lower extension are hard to explain and disrupt the composition. Andrea Celesti's Madonna (Hungarian private collection) cropped up at the 7th auction of the Kieselbach Gallery on 19 March 1999 as a work by an anonymous 18th century painter. The light brushwork and the iridescent colour effects suggest that it was created not earlier than around 1700. The Museum of Fine Arts has four paintings by Gregorio Lazzarini and the Christian Museum has one, but the picture (now in private collection) auctioned off at the 150th auction of the Nagyházi Gallery on 9 December 2008 is the only representative altarpiece. With reference to a description of a picture in A. M. Zanetti's “Della pittura veneziana” (1771) Julianna Ágoston presumes that the picture was originally in the Sant' Angelo church in Venice (now demolished).
