Description:
|
Ludovisi began in the vein of Baroque classicism, but as he matured he began to lean toward the French style of Le Gros (Legros) and the Rococo, exemplifying a later, gentler variation of Italian Baroque which Enggass named barocchetto. These angels flank Legros' altarpiece of Saint Aloysius de Gonzaga, created nearly 50 years before. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
