These two tondos, companion pieces formerly in the Marchesi Mattei’s important collection in Rome and once attributed to Ludovico Carracci’s pupil Lucio massari, were attributed by Federico Zeri to Antiveduto, a Tuscan artist active in Rome. St. Cecilia depicted with her husband and brother-in-law was a popular theme in the early 17th century but the picture has also been interpreted (halo notwithstanding) as Concordia, testifying to the complexity of the iconography.
