BAZZANI, Giuseppe (b. 1690, Mantova, d. 1769, Mantova) |
The Ecstasy of St Therese1745-50Oil on canvas, 76 x 60 cm Szépművészeti Múzeum, Budapest | |
This Rococo painting can be compared with Bernini's sculpture of the same subject in the Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome. Bazzani also presents the religiously overheated soul with unmistakably erotic content only slightly less overtly than the sculptor. |
