The dynamic composition and rich detail testify to the artist's narrative talent.The work is accompanied by an expert opinion from Dr. Egidio Martini, a renowned art historian, who guarantees its attribution and places it around the end of the 17th century, following Calza's experience in Rome with Borgognone, whom the painter both inspired and resembled.Presented and sold in an antique gilded wooden frame, it is a work of exceptional quality, both for its visual impact and its historical value.Dimensions:96x132 cm (without frame)117x149 cm (with frame) See less
