Description: Fragment of a Visitation by Sebastiano del Piombo. "Filippo Sergardi, the executor of Agostino Chigi’s estate, before his death in 1541 commissioned Sebastiano to paint a mural of the Visitation in S Maria della Pace, Rome (dismembered and detached before 1614), the surviving fragments (Alnwick Castle, Northumb.) of which are impressive for their simplified forms and intense expressiveness, qualities that anticipate so much of the painting of the late 16th century." - Lucco, Mauro, "Sebastiano del Piombo", Grove Art Online, Oxford Art Online.
