Drawing

Giovanni Battista Carlone was an Italian Baroque painter and fresco artist active in the 17th and early 18th centuries. Based in Genoa, he executed large-scale religious and allegorical frescoes for churches and palaces across northern Italy, working within the dramatic illusionistic tradition of Baroque ceiling painting. His compositions characteristically combined dynamic figural arrangements with rich color and theatrical lighting effects typical of the period.
