專家說明

A typical example of Gaulli’s studies for his crowded, illusionistic ceiling paintings, this sheet has been associated with several similar figures in decorative schemes of his invention, including those at the Roman churches of Sant’Agnese in Agone and the Gesù (1671-1672), his masterpiece. However, the finish and squaring of the figure in the present sheet suggests the study was used for an angel in yet another work.
