CORRADINI, Antonio
(b. 1668, Padova, d. 1752, Napoli)

Virginity

1722-23
Marble
Santa Maria del Carmelo, Venice

The stance Corradini chooses for his Virginity in the church of Santa Maria del Carmelo (known I Carmini), with the figure bending slightly backward, the gesture of the right arm and the face lifted upward, can be traced back to Heinrich Meyring's work.
