MILAN, ITALY.-Sotheby’s to hold Important Old Master Paintings Auction at Sotheby’s Milan. On Tuesday, November 20, a selection of paintings on view at 10-13. Some fine examples of paintings by Italian Schools from 14th to 16th century are highlighted by a small group of Florentine 15th century panels. Among which is an unpublished Madonna col Bambino e quattro angeli musicanti. It is a small sized panel (47x35 cm.) attributed for the first time in 1969 to one of the masters of Florentine early Renaissance, ‘lo Scheggia’ – Giovanni di Ser Giovanni Guidi, the younger brother of Masaccio.
