Description: | This small landscape is attributed to Domenichino, one of the most important artists working in early seventeenth-century Rome. The small figure of Saint John the Evangelist can be seen sitting beneath a tree. He appears to be in meditation for he holds a stick, entwined by a snake, a symbol representative of Christ on the Cross. Domenichino is best known for his frescoes, although his easel paintings were important in translating the influence of Annibale Carracci to Poussin and Claude. | Subjects: | snake); townscape; figure (St John the Evangelist); landscape; religion; everyday life animal (sheep | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Domenichino (Italian painter and draftsman, 1581-1641) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Tassi, Agostino (Italian painter, ca. 1579-1644) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8380... | Go to resource |
