Description: | Giordano employed loose brush-strokes to convey the heightened emotion of the finding of Moses. This was a popular subject in seventeenth-century Italy and Giordano painted numerous versions of it. Giordano continually absorbed and adapted the various styles of the art that he was exposed to. This resulted in his works moving away from the dark Baroque of Caravaggesque Neapolitan art, to a lighter, illusionistic style which anticipated the Rococo. Under Giordano's influence, Sebastiano Ricci further developed this new style. | Subjects: | religion (finding of Moses); landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Giordano, Luca (Italian painter, 1634-1705, active in Italy and Spain) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8903... | Go to resource |
