NOTES:
[1] According to David Summers, Yale University, in a letter to NAMA, May 7, 1968, NAMA curatorial files, this relief “seems to match fairly closely the description of a relief in the Medici collection…ASF. Guardaroba 126, “Guardaroba del fu Granduca Francesco 1587,” f. 30v. Uno Aovato di marmo di B uno In circa entrovj un christo alla colonna con ornamento di noce in una cessetta d’albero.”
[2] According to Germain Seligmann, in a letter to William Milliken, Cleveland Museum of Art, May 31, 1944, Seligmann could not remember where he acquired the relief, so he searched his records and found that it came from “Boraline, Venice”. He could not recall who this was but remembered the relief had been in Florence. Cleveland Museum of Art Archives, Jacques Seligmann and Co, 1931-1949. Dr. Ulrich Middeldorf, Kunsthistorisches Institut, Florence, in a letter to Ellen Goheen, NAMA, October 27, 1966, remembered seeing the relief at the Florence dealer Ciardiello.
