An Anatomy Lesson
(Bologna 1529 - 1592)
The painting, first cited in the inventory of 1693 as a work by Francesco Salviati, was later attributed variously to Agostino Carracci, Lucio Massari and Bartolomeo Passerotti; in more recent times it has been associated with Federico Zuccari (S. Angelo in Vado 1539 – Ancona 1609). The work falls within the ambit of genre production, the figurative precedents of which can be recognized in the “kitchens” and “markets” known in Italy through Dutch painting and the output of the Venetian workshop of Bassano and Passerotti’s inclination for the narrative-style portrait.
