This volume, edited by Federico Berti, brings together five essays devoted to the recently rediscovered ‘Flagellation of Christ’ by Passignano, and revisits the issue of the ‘Massimi commission’. The studies offer new interpretations and seek to clarify the debate surrounding the various commissions by Massimi for Passignano, Cigoli and Caravaggio. The works of the three artists and the archival data are analysed from various angles, offering fresh perspectives.

The rich artistic output of Erwin Czerwenka (1887–1970) follows the most important artistic trends of the first half of the 20^th century. A painter and draughtsman, experienced teacher and stained-glass designer, he actively participated in Cracow’s artistic life, engaging in social activities of the local artist’s union.

Both volumes include Papers in Honour of Catherine Puglisi (Part I and II)

Guest editors: Lisandra Estevez, Patricia Zalamea and William Barcham
