Apotheosis of Saint Margaret

formerly attributed to Italian

This drawing was attributed to an unknown Italian artist in Felton Gibbons, Catalogue of Italian Drawings in The Art Museum, Princeton University, (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1977, p. 260) with a note that stated that a note on a former mat mentioned Agostino Carracci, but that there was a more recent suggestion of a Neapolitan origin. It was recognized as being created by Luis Gonzáles Veláquez in 1983 by Jonathan Brown. Lisa Banner notes that the changes in attribution "result from close stylistic affinities among the eighteenth-century Spanish pupils of Italian masters."
