presentation letter of an art historian
hi, This is a presentation letter for a scholar applying for a bursary award. Could it mean sphere of influence? thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Ho seguito il lavoro del dr. Francucci quando era borsista della Fondazione di Studi di Storia dell’Arte Roberto Longhi per l’anno accademico 2006-2007. Nell’occasione ha svolto con ottimi risultati una ricerca sul pittore abruzzese (ma attivo a Roma nella cerchia di Mola) Giovanni Battista Boncori, che è stata parzialmente pubblicata sulla rivista “Proporzioni” edita dalla Fondazione.
During this time he carried out with excellent results some research on the Abruzzese painter (but who was active in Rome in Mola's sphere of influence) Giovanni Battista Boncori

I was wondering if cirle of mola are the people around Mola. What is that picture about? just by chance it is called Circle and by chance it is by P.F. Mola?

Thanks. I wonder about the connection if any between the expression and the picture in the link.

: You're right, but for the wrong reasons. "The circle of" means "the artists associated with".

No Phil. I gave the answer thinking of your kind of answer. Later I added that link and said: strange that this guy about whose circle of colleague artists we are talking about drew a painting called "Circle".

Michael McCann
: Normally in art, one refers to the "School of ..." implying a copying of style, etc. whether or not the actual painter had meet the master.

Dutch School would be good or the School of Cortona. But here we don't have that

| agree |
Ernestine Shargool
: Yes: Circle. (Totally confused by all the subsequent notes!)//Isn't the painting called: "The Martyrdom of St. Peter of Verona" BY artist/s in the circle of Pier Francesco Mola?

Thanks! My link mentions a painting called "Circle" (coincidence).

: I prefer school but there is also "clique" - see "impressionists clique"

clique sounds pejorative to me. Nothing seems pejorative in our text. Thanks for the vote of confidence!

Mille grazie!

: "Circle" is right -- "school" would mean something different. "In the circle" of implies "influenced by" whereas "in the school of" implies "followers of". (One can be in influenced by an artist without being a follower of that artist.)

Tra le nuove acquisizione critiche nell'ambito della scuola del Mola, l'Elia con l’angelo di Giovan Battista Boncori,
