Description: | Pier Francesco Mola's most characteristic early works are small, intensely romantic scenes from mythology, the Bible, and from works by the poet Torquato Tasso, set in landscapes inspired by Venetian art. As his career developed so did the scale of his painting and his figures and he reduced the importance of the landscape setting. Therefore, if this work is by Mola, it is certainly from the latter part of his career. Here a blindfolded nude angel with her left arm raised, is lying on her side with a drapery across her torso. Two female figures, one wearing a crown, are positioned beside her and a small cherub in the centre pours wine from a jug. | Subjects: | mythology [?]; literature [?] | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mola, Pier Francesco (Italian painter and draftsman, 1612-1666) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8343... | Go to resource |
