1656 Capodistria - 1746 Rome.
Penitent Magdalene.

H 100,
The composition of the penitent Magdalene is borrowed from a work by Francesco Trevisani which has been imitated several times. Coming from the eastern Adriatic Sea of the Maritime Republic of Venice, he gained his first experience in the lagoon city as a student of Antonio Zanchi. After he arrived in the Eternal City in 1678, he discovered his formative role models in Roman Baroque painters and found loyal patrons in wealthy cardinals.
