Description: | This lively composition represents the arrival of the Queen of Sheba with her attendants at the court of King Solomon (I Kings 10. 1-13). As she arrives, the Queen gestures to her attendants to proffer gifts to Solomon who sits on an elaborate throne adorned with lions. This painting is typical of Vicenzo Damini whose work is theatrical, frilly and full of movement. The free handling of the paint in this work is a characteristic of the later canvasses he produced when working in England towards the end of his career. | Subjects: | animal (lion); figure; religion (King Solomon Queen of Sheba); interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Damini, Vincenzo (Italian painter, born 1690-1696, died after 1749) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8542... | Go to resource |
