- Curator's comments
- The attribution of the group of a dozen drawings in the BM to the obscure Florentine painter Jacone, a pupil of Andrea del Sarto, is due to James Byam Shaw in the Christ Church catalogue (under no. 102). Drawings by the same hand are in the Ashmolean, the Louvre (inv. 1965 as Tribolo, RF 53163) and the Casa Buonarroti, Florence and elsewhere (see Lloyd 1968 article). 1862-7-12-189 and 1946-7-13-333 bear old attributions on the mount to Rosso while A.E. Popham catalogued the ex-Fenwick drawings under the name of Vincenzo Danti (1530-75), a Florentine sculptor. Subsequently Christopher Lloyd published the drawings as by another Florentine sculptor, Niccolo Tribolò.
