Portrait of Monsignor Giovanni Battista Agucchi

Portrait of Monsignor Giovanni Battista Agucchi is a 1604 oil-on-canvas painting now in York Art Gallery, to which it was presented via the National Art Collections Fund in 1955 by Francis Denis Lycett Green (1893–1959), a collector and younger brother of Sir Edward Arthur Lycett Green, 3rd Baronet.

It appears as "Monsignor Agucchi in a chimere holding a letter with both hands and looking at the viewers" in the list of prints after paintings by Annibale Carracci in Carlo Cesare Malvasia's 1678 Felsina Pittrice,[5] though other 17th-century sources attribute the painting to Domenichino.

The attribution to Domenichino was held unanimously from the 19th century until 1994, when Silvia Ginzburg rediscovered the reference in Malvasia and found other documentary and stylistic evidence to support reattributing the work to Annibale.

[6] Denis Mahon, Daniele Benati and Tomaso Montanari have all backed the reattribution.

During a loan to the National Gallery, London the work was displayed with the new attribution.
