Giovanni di Lorenzo Larciani (1484 - 1527) was an Italian painter. He was originally referred to as the Maestro dei paesaggi Kress (Master of the Kress landscapes).

Work & attribution

His original name referred to a body of works at the National Gallery of Art that form part of the Kress Collection. He is also now known to be the creator of a Holy Family and Four Saints at the Museo di Fucecchio [it]. While studying that work, Louis Alexander Waldman discovered documents, including a contract from 1521, that linked it with someone named Giovanni Larciani, whose biography and oeuvre the same scholar has reconstructed in a series of publications.

Works that had already been assigned to a young Rosso Fiorentino (such as the Madonna and Child at the Galleria Borghese, 1510–1515, and a similar work at the Museo statale d'arte medievale e moderna [it] in Arezzo, c.1510-1520), were now reassigned to Larciani. He may also have painted Portrait of a Young Woman, also previously attributed as a very early Rosso work. He is credited with the background landscape in Joseph Being Led to Prison by Francesco Granacci, painted for the camera nuziale Borgherini [it].

He has since been credited with a Madonna and Child at the Galerie Hans in Hamburg and a Holy Family with St.John at the Galleria Borghese.

[de] Meister der Kress-Landschaften

Als Meister der Kress-Landschaften (engl. Master of the Kress Landscapes) wurde bis zu seiner Identifizierung ein namentlich nicht bekannter Maler der Renaissance bezeichnet[1]. Kunsthistoriker kannten zuerst nur eine Reihe von Bildern aus seiner Schaffensperiode um 1515 oder 1520. Dem Künstler wurde sein Notname nach drei seiner Landschaftsbilder gegeben, die 1939 in einer Schenkung von Samuel H. Kress an die National Gallery of Art in Washington enthalten waren[2]. Er konnte dann aber als Giovanni Larciani identifiziert werden[3] und die um diese Bilder gruppierten Werke diesem italienischen Meister aus Florenz namentlich zugeordnet werden. Die Identifizierung beruht auf einem Vertrag von 1521, den man zu einem dem Meister der Kress-Landschaften zugeschriebenen Altarbild in Fucecchio finden konnte und in dem der Name Larcianis enthalten war[4].
