Description: | Giordano employed loose brush-strokes to suggest heightened emotion in this mythological scene. This work is similar to those of El Greco which Giordano would have seen during his time in Spain. Giordano continually absorbed and adapted the various styles of the art 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: | mythology; 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=8913... | Go to resource |
