- Abstract
This paper introduces a considerable amount of previously unknown eighteenth-century paintings, stored in Santa Chiara's Monastery in Fermo. Based on the rediscovery of their signatures, and on the analysis of both their stylistic features and executive techniques, we can ascribe a total of thirty-five paintings to the Ricci family, from Fermo, only three of which were previously known; Natale Ricci is the author of twenty-seven of them, and they mostly date back to the fourth decade of the eighteenth Century. It is a real unicum, because such a high concentration of paintings by the Ricci family had never been recorded in a single place, (particularly of Natale's works). Not only does the nucleus of the monastery provide us with a new glance on the artistc world in eighteenth-century Fermo, but it also shows us the modus operandi and the executive techniques adopted by Natale Ricci and his workshop during the third decade of the eighteenth Century, thus becoming a new pivotal chapter on the output of the Ricci family.
