Continuing on in the Baroque Room, this is Christ and The Woman of Samaria. It is by Guercino, and dates to 1647.
The Crucifixion of Saint Andrew is a dramatically lit work by Luca Giordino, circa 1650-59.
The Arrest of Christ is circa 1630-32, and is by Matthias Stom.
Here we have Lot and his Daughters. Dating to 1622, it is by Grazio Gentileschi.
Two final views of the Baroque Room end things for the day.
Impressive works again and the room itself is art.

You have been spending a lot of time in the Baroque Room, William.
ReplyDelete@Iris: definitely the case.
ReplyDelete@Italiafinlandia: understandable.
@Vicky: thanks.
@Francisco: thanks.
@Eileen: I do too.

...that room is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what direction art would have taken if it had not been necessary to appease the church.
ReplyDeleteGreat work indeed!
ReplyDeleteAmazing paintings and those red rooms.... like surrounded by the blood of the artists during that time. I cannot imagine how they must've suffered for their art.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing William,
eden

ReplyDeleteI wonder if the wings are heavy to wear ? Nice old paintings !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful old artworks William, beautifully displayed here ✨
ReplyDeletei always prefer Christ (Jesus) views that make him look super kind and friendly. this is one ... i think of him being a bit dark in color. not white like myself. but any who ... whatever makes your heart happy. do that. ( ;
ReplyDeleteYes, again I'm touched by the exceptional detail and lighting, it really draws a person in. Nice room too, I like the shade of paint.
ReplyDeleteThe colours at top (first work) are striking!
