Description: | In this painting, John the Baptist is represented as a young man with the lamb and the cross that identify him as the forerunner and herald of Christ. Nicola Grassi often imitated Sebastiano Ricci's style in the devotional images that he painted for provincial churches in Udine. Grassi's painting shows the free and fluent brushstrokes, lighter palette and evanescent manner that characterise Ricci's late works. | Subjects: | religion (St John the Baptist) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Grassi, Nicola (Italian painter, 1682-1748) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Giordano, Luca (Italian painter, 1634-1705, active in Italy and Spain) Previously attributed to Ricci, Sebastiano (Italian painter and draftsman, 1659-1734) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8993... | Go to resource |
