News from Bologna that the local La Pinacoteca di Cento have acquired a Still Life of Church Vestments and Silver by Paolo Antonio Barbieri (1603-1649). Barbieri, who was brother to the more widely known Guercino, painted the work in c.1647 and was later descended with the great-grandchildren of Guercino. The work appeared at an antiques exhibition in Florence in 2019 where it was spotted by members of the 'Friends of the Pinacoteca'.
