COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
Lauri's speciality was the ideal landscape with mythological subjects into which he introduced stylistic elements from Francesco Albani, PierOne of the massive supports on which an arch or upper part of a church stands. A pier is generally larger than a column, but may consist of a cluster of columns. Francesco Mola and Gaspard Dughet. He painted small-scale Arcadian idylls executed with open brushwork in a light colour scheme. The present painting, belonging to a series of six copper panels, is a characteristic example.
