PELLEGRINI, Giovanni Antonio
(b. 1675, Venezia, d. 1741, Venezia)

Allegory

1700-10
Oil on canvas
Palazzo Albrizzi, Venice

The Allegories on the portego ceiling of the Palazzo Albrizzi, painted by Pellegrini, are surrounded by richly molded plaster decoration by Abbondio Stazio. The ceiling canvases within their curvilinear frame give the impression of being supported by the plaster angels which are almost in the round.
