Description: | While John the Baptist is dressed in classical garb, his listeners, depicted in a realistic, unidealised manner, wear contemporary clothes. This combination of a conventional religious subject and unsparing naturalism reflects Cerquozzi's creative debt to the Dutch painters with whom he studied and worked in his native Rome. The picture's small size suggests that it was painted for a private patron rather than for a church. | Subjects: | figure; religion (St John the Baptist); landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Cerquozzi, Michelangelo (Italian painter, 1602-1660) Æ Attributed to studio of Previously attributed to Flemish School Previously attributed to Spanish School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9179... | Go to resource |
