Description:
|
Romanelli was the pupil first of Domenichino, then of Pietro da Cortona; his work also shows the influence of Bernini (in some of whose projects he became involved) and of Poussin. Extensive Barberini patronage evidently made Romanelli quite a distinguished figure in Rome. The frescoed mythological scenes in friezes in the Palazzo Altemps was an important commission. This is the private living room of the Duchess Isabella Lante Altemps, who married the Duke Pietro in 1636. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/)
