Description: | Carlo Dolci, who was born in Florence in 1616 and died there in 1686, painted this Adoration of the Magi early in his career, while still under the influence of his teacher Jacopo Vignali. Its composition, as well as the rich display of the garments and gifts, still owes a lot to sixteenth century Florentine painting. Although a very religious Catholic painter, Dolci was one of the painters most sought after by British collectors. A larger, signed version of this picture is now in the National Gallery (NG 6523), and a smaller but more delicate one at Blenheim Palace. | Subjects: | figure; religion (Adoration of the Magi) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dolci, Carlo (Italian painter, 1616-1687) Æ Attributed to Attributed to studio of Dolci, Carlo (Italian painter, 1616-1687) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8814... | Go to resource |
