Life of Aeneas

Pietro Berrettini

Doria Phamphilj Gallery

 
DESCRIZIONE:
Cortona's last major work, the ceiling paintings for the long gallery in the Pamphili Palace in Rome (1654), depicts the story of Aeneas. The gentler rhythms, the paler colors, and the uncrowded compositions with large stretches of open sky all seem to anticipate the 18th century.
