Giuseppe Maria Crespi and other Bolognese painters at Salò

This paper deals with hitherto partially unnoticed traces of Baroque Bolognese art in the province of Brescia and particularly in the church dedicated to the Visitation in Salò. Recent studies have pointed out that the high altar is surmounted by a large canvas by Marcantonio Franceschini (and workshop) and that a side altar is decorated with a painting by Girolamo Donnini. The preparatory drawing for the latter is identified here in a sheet at the Albertina in Vienna, while the painting on the other side altar is attributed here to Giuseppe Maria Crespi, known as 'lo Spagnolo'. A small canvas in the local Ateneo is instead attributed to Ercole Graziani and its model identified with a handful of drawings by Donato Creti.
