AMBROGIO CERONI (+1970)

Italian banker, converted in to appraiser for banks and later for auction houses and art critic.
Typical European connoisseur.
Is probably the cleanest and the best of them all, No good relation with the Zborowski/Guillaume crowd or the Netter family.
Covered from 1906 (the arrival in Paris) to death, listed 337 paintings over a period of 13 years (no mention on anything previous to Paris).
After his death in 1970 his widow expertises saying "it was in my husband's files and intention".

A reader sent me (thanks N) an extract from his catalogue where he says this line:

"Opposite to the catalogs that Pfannstiel presented in 1929 and 1956, I have the conviction that all the
work of the artist can't be more then 220 tableaux"

Well in his last edition he presented 337...

All the works presented in this page are Ceroni selection.
REPEAT: I do not say none of this are fakes or original, I just present them as he did.
