Vision of Balthazar


(oil on canvas 159x210 cm).


Carlo Rosa

17th century (first half).

The iconography of this painting follows the biblical path. The bodily masses, in their complex interweaving, as can be seen from the foreground, struck by a lighting effect that certainly recalls Mattia Preti. The figures, wrapped in the shadows, arranged in the scaling of the planes towards the background, among which emerge typological-structural elements that are recurring in the artistic path of Carlo Rosa.
