Allegoria della Carità

Francesco Andreini (Cesena, 1697 - 1751) - Oil on canvas; cm 133 x 183

Allegoria della Carità

Documented in the early 17th century (as being in the Townhall) it was considered a work of Giuseppe Milani, then later was attributed to Francesco Andreini.

This allegory is different from the previous paintings for the particular use of lights and shadows that creates a beautiful effect that donates plasticity to the characters.

The style that Andreini develops is for sure influenced by Cignani's work, although it remains of a mediocre level compared to that of the latter.
