Antonio Cavallucci

(Sermoneta, 1752 - Roma, 1795)

Virgin in prayer, oil on canvas, 35x27.5 cm, within a gilded wooden frame.The work adheres to the Roman neoclassical language and in particular is shown similar to the sweet and puristic production of Cavallucci, a very devoted painter, as shown by the predilection towards the sacred theme The sweet, effeminate expression of the figures, typical of the works of maturity, is underlined by a smooth and brilliant complexion rich in nuances in the contours, rendered with a technical mastery that gives the surfaces the character of enamel. in these characteristics of style it is very close to Bernardino Nocchi, but also influenced by the influence of the paintings by Cades, Kauffmann, Lapis and Batoni.
