Congratulations to our Loving Art Partnerships creative partner, Sopranos star and distinguished collector Federico Castelluccio, who discovered this magnificent Guercino masterpiece in a dusty auction house in Frankfurt. Federico, who owns America's largest collection of Francesco de Mura paintings, is lending four works to the upcoming show, In the Light of Naples: The Art of Francesco de Mura. Famous for his role as the mobster "Furio" in the Sopranos, he is also known as an accomplished artist who paints in the Old Master style. Loving Art applauds Federico's uncanny ability to spot undetected masterpieces in unlikely places!
