Group of Heads

This painting, together with another 'Group of Heads', was formerly attributed to Annibale Carracci. Both works are copies of the heads at the lower extremities of Correggio's destroyed fresco of 'Coronation of the Virgin' in the apse of S. Giovanni Evangelista, Parma. A number of fragments of Correggio's original fresco showing heads of angels are also in the Collection('Head of an Angel', 'Heads of Two Angels' and another 'Head of an Angel').

The painting was purchased from the Angerstein collection.
