Probably Marchese Galeazzo Dondi dall'Orologio, Padua, by 1871;[1] sold probably in the late 1800s and, in any case before 1912, to (Stefano Bardini [1836-1922], Florence);[2] (Count Alessandro Contini Bonacossi, Rome); purchased September 1931 by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, New York;[3] gift 1939 to NGA. [1] There described by Joseph Archer Crowe and Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle, _A History of Painting in North Italy, Venice, Padua, Vicenza, Verona, Ferrara, Milan, Friuli, Brescia, from the Fourteenth to the Sixteenth Century_, 2 vols., London, 1871: 1:295 n. 1: "There are pictures in Padua which have the stamp of Gentile, and may for want of a better name be called by that of Nerito: ex.gr. Padua, Marchese Galeazzo Dondi Orologio, _St. Michael enthroned_ with a dragon under his feet, natural in pose. His dress is that of an ecclesiastic; with much embossment. The manner of the artist is a mixture of Guariento and Michele Giambono, perhaps a little better than that of the pictures by the latter. Were not our attention called to Nerito, we should say this was a work by Giambono... Further _St. John the Baptist_, _St. Peter_, and a _bishop_, oblong panels, in possession of Conte [sic] Galeazzo Dondi-Orologio." On the Dondi Dall'Orologio family, see Vittorio Spreti, _Enciclopedia storico-nobiliare italiana_, 9 vols., Milan, 1928-1931: 2:623. [2] Tancred Borenius (ed.) in Crowe and Cavalcaselle, _A History of Painting in North Italy..._, 2nd ed., 3 vols., New York, 1912: 3 n. 1) was unable to trace the panel, which had probably already been sold by 1895. Another painting from the same altarpiece, _Saint Michael the Archangel Enthroned_ (Biblioteca Berenson at Villa I Tatti, near Florence), also from the Dondi dall'Orologio household, was by 1895 in London in the collection of Jean Paul Richter (see Bernard Berenson, _Venetian Painting, Chiefly before Titian, at the Exhibition of Venetian Art_, London, 1895: 6). [3] The bill of sale that includes the painting is dated 13 September 1931 (copy in NGA curatorial files); see also the Kress Collection Digital Archive, https://kress.nga.gov/Detail/objects/1882.
