Description Readers' comments

This study originates from analysis of a painting signed and dated by Antonius de Lario, a name that recalls the presence in Genoa of an altar painting attributed to Antonio da Como. Stylistic analysis seems to confirm identification between the “two”, not otherwise known painters, while iconographic reading allows us to discern an early orientation of Franciscan images towards a manifestation of devout, personal, mysticism. At the same time, it is observed that the increasingly influential brotherhood associations directed their preferences towards artists from the Po Valley, in accordance with the prevailing taste in Liguria at the beginning of the sixteenth century. these choices are at the origin of Antonio da Como’s activity (and of an even more mysterious Baptista de Cumo), as well as of the betterknown Filippo da Verona. Part of the argument is dedicated to the latter in order to support, through examination of the details, the attribution of several erratic tables preserved in a church in eastern Genoa, once also the site of a secular oratory.
