Description: | This small painting shows Christ and the multitude that flocked around him after his sermon on the mount. Christ performed several miracles on the crowd such as healing the centurion's servant and restoring the sight of two blind men, possibly the two figures who kneel on the right of Christ. Once misattributed to the seventeenth-century painter Guido Reni, the style of the painting suggests a North Italian artist. The two old men to the left have a Flemish feel whilst the elaborate classical architecture arranged in the background is reminiscent of several works by sixteenth-century Florentine and Venetian painters. | Subjects: | religion (Christ and the multitude); buildings and gardens; figure; literature (Bible Matthew 8-9) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Northern Italian) School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to manner of Panini, Giovanni Paolo (Italian painter, ca. 1692-1765) Previously attributed to Flemish School Previously attributed to Reni, Guido (Italian painter and draftsman, 1575-1642) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8357... | Go to resource |
