Late 17th Century

About the Item

Felice Torelli (Verona 1667 - Bologna 1748) Hagar and the Angel Oil on canvas, 41 x 116 cm without frame - 52,5 x 127 cm with frame Original shaped and gilded wooden frames Expertise: Massimo Francucci Publications: Bozzetti, modelletti, sketches: dalla collezione di Giorgio Baratti (From the Giorgio Baratti Collection) curated by Anna Orlando, Agnese Marengo and Annalisa Scarpa, Genova, 2022, pp. 72, 73. In this work we can admire the biblical scene of Hagar who, in order to avoid seeing her son die of hardship, decides at first to abandon him but then an angel appears to show her a well of water where she can take refreshment and thus save her son Ishmael. The freshness of the stroke and the intense compositional intelligence played on precise balances confirm the critics' attribution to Felice Torelli, an artist destined to become one of the most important exponents of the eighteenth-century artistic scene in Bologna.
