Drawing

Giulio Cesare Angeli was an Italian painter active in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Working primarily in oil on canvas, he produced religious and historical compositions that reflected the formal conventions of Counter-Reformation painting. Based in Rome during a period of intense artistic activity, his work engaged with the devotional and narrative demands of the Church.
