Description:
|
|
Neri’s work was decorative, two-dimensional and technically accomplished but entirely devoid of inspiration. The compositions, for example his countless Annunciations and Coronations, are inexpressive and repetitive, and the figure drawing is awkward. Despite shortcomings, Neri’s paintings, with their simple and clearly identifiable style, lavishly adorned with gold, azurite and lakes, were keenly sought after throughout his career by the most varied clientele.
