tracing the transition from mannerism to baroque at tefaf maastricht 2751235

London-based gallery Trinity Fine Art has announced a curated presentation for TEFAF Maastricht 2026 focusing on the stylistic evolution from Mannerism to the Baroque. The showcase features three significant works: an ambitious 1580 biblical scene by Lavinia Fontana, a rare and well-documented 1610 depiction of St. Jerome by Orazio Gentileschi, and a mature 1620 composition of the Holy Family by Giulio Cesare Procaccini.

This presentation is significant for the market as it brings together high-caliber Old Master paintings with exceptional provenance and historical weight. The Gentileschi work is particularly notable for its connection to the infamous 1612 trial of Agostino Tassi, while the Fontana piece highlights the increasing market and institutional recognition of female Old Masters. By grouping these specific artists, the gallery provides a scholarly narrative on the transition from the late Renaissance to the dramatic intensity of the 17th century.
