Follower of Marcantonio Franceschini,
Italian 1648-1729-
Diana and Endymion;
oil on canvas, bears later inscription 'RENI DIANA ENDYMION' on the upper stretcher bar, 51.8 x 70 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
The style of Marcantonio Franceschini and his circle is often referred to as 'Barocchetto', a transitional style combining the dramatic drapery and dynamic shapes of the latter years of the Baroque with the crispness and clear, open compositions of the incipient Rococo. While the clarity of line and arrangement of the present work recall the works of Franceschini and his Bolognese circle, the composition also appears to take inspiration from contemporary Roman renditions of the same mythological scene, including Luca Giordano's (1634-1705) version of the subject, now at the National Gallery of Art, Washington [no.1991.20.1].
