Tiziano Vecellio, after Cornelia Fainting in the Arms of Pompeius Oil on canvas (relined). 100 x 85 cm. Provenance Collection of Conte Cassi, Pesaro. – Wilhelm II, King of the Netherlands, acquired in The Hague with the help of Baron Ettore de Garriod). – His sale, Amsterdam, 12.-21.08.1850, lot 161 (attributed to Giorgione). – The Roos collection. – English private collection, Oxford. - Private collection, Rhineland. Literature Lionel Cust & Herbert Cook: Notes on Pictures in the Royal Collections – “The Lovers” at Buckingham Palace, in: The Burlington Magazine, IX (1906), p. 72f. - Lionel Cust: The Lovers, by Titian; A Note, in: The Burlington Magazine, XXIX (1916), p. 373. With a series of collector's seals on the reverse; the old relined canvas with an inscription probably transferred from the original canvas, including a date and attribution to Giorgione, using the Venetian variant of the artist's name ("Zorzon MDX"). This painting, once in royal Dutch possession and sold at the famous auction in Amsterdam in 1850, is a reiteration of a well-known and much discussed composition, which in the past was attributed to Giorgione and Titian and has survived in several versions and copies. Paul Joannides sees the Hampton Court version, in the possession of the British royal family, as the original Titian. Joannides interprets the motif, controversially interpreted by art historical researchers, as "Cornelia, fainting in the arms of Pompeius". The same interpretation was given by Titian's contemporary, the art writer Carlo Ridolfi, in his “Meraviglie“, written in the 16th century (see Paul Joannides: Titian to 1518, The Assumption of Genius, New Haven & London 2001, p. 252). Several versions of this popular and widely disseminated depiction of the Man of Sorrows by Andrea Solario exist, with the works in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig being the most finely painted examples (cf. David Alan Brown: Andrea Solario, Mailand 1986, p. 184ff). Tiziano Vecellio, gen. Tizian, nach Cornelia, in Pompeius´ Armen in Ohnmacht fallend Öl auf Leinwand (altdoubliert). 100 x 85 cm. Provenienz Slg. Conte Cassi, Pesaro. – Wilhelm II., König der Niederlande, Den Haag (erworben über Baron Ettore de Garriod). – Seine Versteigerung, Amsterdam, 12.-21.8.1850, Lot 161 (zugeschrieben an Giorgione). – Slg.

Herbert Cook: Notes on Pictures in the Royal Collections – “The Lovers” at Buckingham Palace, in: The Burlington Magazine, IX (1906), S. 72f. - Lionel Cust: The Lovers, by Titian; A Note, in: The Burlington Magazine, XXIX (1916), S. 373. Verso mit einer Reihe von Sammlersiegeln, unter anderem jenes der Könige von Frankreich; auf der altdoublierten Leinwand eine wohl von der Originalleinwand übertragene Inschrift u.a. mit einer Datierung und der Zuschreibung an Giorgione, die venezianische Variante des Künstlernamens verwendend („Zorzon MDX“). Das Gemälde, einst in königlich-niederländischem Besitz und 1850 in der berühmten Auktion in Amsterdam versteigert, zeigt die Wiederholung einer bekannten, viel diskutierten Komposition, die in der Vergangenheit Giorgione und Tizian zugeschrieben worden ist und sich in mehreren Fassungen und Kopien überliefert hat. Paul Joannides sieht in der Version in Hampton Court, in königlich-englischem Besitz, das Original Tizians. Die Darstellung, von der kunsthistorischen Forschung kontrovers interpretiert, deutet Joannides als „Cornelia, in Pompeius´ Armen in Ohnmacht fallend“, wie es im 16. Jahrhundert bereits Tizians Weggefährte und Kunstschriftsteller Carlo Ridolfi in seinen Meraviglie getan hat (vgl. Paul Joannides: Titian to 1518, The Assumption of Genius, New Haven & London 2001, S. 252).
