Focus on Susanna and the Elders (Gentileschi, Bologna) and explain the Provenance.
Bank records indicate that a version of Susannah was sold to Antonio Galise in early 1653; historians believe it to be this version. It can then be traced to the Medici collection at the Palazzo Medici Riccardi by 1774. By 1945 it was in the Azzolini collection as a work by Elisabetta Sirani, from which it was left to the Italian nation and designated for the regional gallery in Bologna. Recent restoration and investigation have led to the attribution to Gentileschi rather than Sirani.
