The Agony of Christ in the Garden
by BAZZANI, Giuseppe, Oil on canvas, 42 x 36 cm
Though most of his activity took place in Mantua, Giuseppe Bazzani is usually ranged with the Settecento painters of Venice, owing to his stylistic relationship to them. His fluid brush-work, soft forms and fiery colours certainly show the influence of Venetian masters, but his dramatic expression and lively composition show greater individualism.
