Description: | Francesco Solimena's principle works were for churches in Naples and he dominated the artistic life of that city during his lifetime. The monumental figures of Rebecca and Eliezer show the influence of Michelangelo; they exemplify the classicism of Solimena's style, which introduced a newfound gravity in the wake of the exuberant Baroque painting that had dominated Italy in the seventeenth century. Solimena ran a large studio and this painting is probably the work of his assistants. | Subjects: | religion (Rebecca at the Well); figure; animal (goat; sheep) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Solimena, Francesco (Italian painter and draftsman, 1657-1747) Æ Attributed to studio of Previously attributed to school of Cortona, Pietro da (Italian draftsman and painter, 1596-1669) Previously attributed to school of Solimena, Francesco (Italian painter and draftsman, 1657-1747) Previously attributed to Italian School Previously attributed to Murillo, Bartolomé Estebán (Spanish painter and draftsman, 1618-1682) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9179... | Go to resource |
