GOLDFARB, HILLIARD T.: A Mysterious Beauty and a French Attribution: The Sleeping Magdalen of Budapest

25. Domenico Fetti: David, Venice, Gallerie dell'Accademia Bella, recorded in the Moyreau print ("Dona N....Maîtresse de Paul Veronese, peinte par lui mesme") rests upright against a cushion on the viewers right, looking out to us. 7 A wide range of attributions have been suggested for the work over the last two centuries to replace the untenable, early Esterházy attribution. As early as 1844, the name of Domenico Fetti (1588/89-1623) was proposed, an attribution adopted by Mündler in 1869 (published 1909), and subsequently supported by Venturi and Fiocco. 8 7 Pigler, A., Katalog der Galerie Alter Meister, Budapest 1967, Tübingen 1968, p. 224. The print by Moyreau was reproduced in Barkóczi, I., Von Raffael bis Tiepolo. Italienische Kunst aus der Sammlung des Fürstenhauses Esterházy, Munich 1999 (henceforth abbreviated Von Raffael bis Tiepolo) no. 73, p. 252. 8 Catalog de la Galerie des tableaux de S. A. le Prince Paul Esterházy de Galantha à Vienne, Vienna 1844, IX, 11. Mündler made the attribution at the time of the inventory for the purchase of the Esterházy collection in 1869. It was published in 1909 in Mündler, O., Schätzungsliste von Otto Mündler über die Bestände der Esterházy-Galerie, Az Országos Magyar Szépművészeti Múzeum állagai 1 (1909) pp. 3—40. His attribution also is cited in Pigler op.cit. (n. 7) p. 224; Venturi. A.. I quadri di scuola italiana nclla Galleria Nazionale di Budapest, L'Arte III (1900) 223, 226; Fiocco. G., Die venezianische Malerei des XVIF und XVIII. Jahrhunderts, Florence - Munich 1929, p. 16.
