Marcantonio Aquili - Ecce Homo - tempera on panel 37.2 x 48.7 cm The work under scrutiny, accompanied by a file compiled by Professor Anna Cavallaro on 25 April 2025, is assigned to Antoniazzo Romano's closest collaborator, his son Marcantonio Aquili, who had easy access to his father's cartoons at the end of the 15th century.The iconography disseminated by Antoniazzo Romano throughout the north of Lazio in the late 15th and early 16th century, which in turn echoes the model of the Acheropita icon of the Lateran Sancta Sanctorum, is here realised using the same cartoon as the Blessing Redeemer of Zagarolo and Castelnuovo di Porto, albeit with some differences, such as the neckline of Christ's garment lacking ornaments and the reduced format. The panel was once attributed to the School of Antoniazzo Romano by Federico Zeri (with an autographed note on the back of the photograph in the Fondazione Zeri in Bologna) and it is evident how the son takes up the characteristics of the Roman master, translating them into a more subtle lymphaticism and a toned-down expressiveness.Provenance: Galleria Leone di Castro (1878 - 1950).
