Abstract

In the first part of the paper, analysing the production of the so-called Maestro V di Nave, the author tries to find out the identity of this mysterious painter, deeply influenced by Girolamo Romanino, coming up with an addition to his catalogue. On the basis of some stylistic considerations supported by some archival deductions, the research leads to the recognition of the painter Giovan Giacomo Romani, Romanino's brother, as a possible candidate. The second part focuses on a rediscovered panel with a Virgin with Child between the Saints Blaise and Roch (location unknown), exhibited at the Esposizione d'arte sacra held in 1899 in Cremona, and here referred to the hand of Giovan Pietro Melone, nephew of the more famous Altobello, at a date close to the beginning of 1530s. Moreover, the occasion allows the author to analyse some documentarial and genealogical aspects relating to Altobello that have so far remained unsolved, such as the date of his death and relations with some other Melon es attested between Cremona and Brescia.
