Description: | This is a decorative piece, possibly from the top of a mirror, set into an ornate oval gilt frame with foliate detail. The two books and cockerel may refer to the Muse Clio, who is usually depicted with books and a trumpet to signify fame. The cockerel may have been a witty comment on this instrument. It has been attributed to the Italian painter Antonio Zucchi, who worked at Harewood House around 1771. | Subjects: | mythology (Muse Clio? putto); animal (cockerel) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zucchi, Antonio (Italian painter and printmaker, 1726-1796) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8689... | Go to resource |
