Dipingere a quattro mani. Novità sulla collaborazione tra Gaspard Dughet e Jan Miel e una proposta per Claude Lorrain
This article investigates some extraordinary collaborative works in terms of format and commissioning carried out by the Roman landscape painter Gaspard Dughet and the Antwerp Bambocciante Jan Miel. Thanks to the tracing of the clients of these artworks, primarily Domenico Jacovacci but also the renowned family of architects of the Longhi, it was finally possible to ascribe with certainty to the two artists seven canvases, some of which have been previously removed from the catalog of these painters by specialized scholars. It was also possible to reconstruct ancient pendants and, finally, to date accurately the paintings demonstrating their execution at the turn of the fifth and sixth decade of the seventeenth century, thus undermining the idea that these were executed during the first Dughet manner. According to inventories of the time, one of these artworks was also the counterpart to a collaborative painting executed by Miel and Claude Lorrain, here recognized with a painting traditionally ascribed to Miel and the architectural painter Alessandro Salucci.
