PIOLA, Domenico

Janus and Hercules with Peace (detail)

1665-67
Fresco

In the second half of the 17th century a strong interaction between sculpture and decorative painting can be observed in Genoa. The figures of this fresco can be compared with the sculptures of Pierre Puget executed in Genoa in the same period.
