BACHIACCA (FRANCESCO D'UBERTINO VERDI). Eve with Cain and Abel

Eve with Cain and Abel. Artist: Bachiacca (Francesco d'Ubertino Verdi) (Italian, Florence 1494-1557 Florence). Dimensions: 15 3/4 x 9 1/4 in. (40 x 23.5 cm). Date: 1520s. The picture, which dates from the 1520s, has been cut down at the left and originally included a seated figure of Adam. The whole composition is known from another version painted by Bachiacca in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A pupil of Perugino and a friend of Andrea del Sarto, Bachiacca excelled in small-scale works, frequently adapting the compositions of his greater colleagues. The standing figure of Eve derives from Perugino's <i>Apollo and Marsyas</i> (Louvre, Paris). The figures are well preserved, but the extreme left side of the picture has been damaged and repainted.
