Painting Description
"A Draped Angel Seen Di Sotto in Su" is a notable work by the Italian Baroque painter Carlo Maratta (also known as Maratti), who lived from 1625 to 1713. Maratta was renowned for his frescoes, altarpieces, and portraits, and his style was characterized by a blend of Roman classicism and the dynamism of the High Baroque. The term "di sotto in su," which translates to "from below upwards," refers to a perspective technique used in ceiling painting that creates the illusion of space and figures above the viewer, enhancing the sense of the divine or celestial.
This particular painting by Maratta exemplifies his mastery of the di sotto in su technique, showcasing an angel depicted in a graceful, descending pose, as if viewed from below. The angel is adorned with flowing drapery that emphasizes movement and the ethereal nature of the figure. The use of light and shadow in the painting further accentuates the three-dimensionality and the heavenly aura surrounding the angel.
While the exact date of creation and the original commission for "A Draped Angel Seen Di Sotto in Su" may not be well-documented, the work is consistent with Maratta's artistic output during the height of his career in the late 17th century, when he was highly sought after by patrons for his ability to imbue religious subjects with a sense of grandeur and piety.
The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the understanding of Baroque ceiling painting techniques. Maratta's work in this genre reflects the influence of his predecessors, such as Correggio and Lanfranco, while also demonstrating his unique approach to composition and form. "A Draped Angel Seen Di Sotto in Su" remains an important example of Maratta's oeuvre and a testament to the enduring appeal of Baroque art.
