Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and artistic output of Carlo Dolci, an Italian painter famed for his beautifully executed religious and sentimental subjects. Born in 17th-century Florence, Dolci's talent manifested early, captivating patrons with his exquisite attention to detail and emotional depth. While his lack of compositional range limited his ability to tackle grander narratives, he found acclaim for his intimate portrayals of individual figures. Despite the saccharine sentiment that permeated his art, which contrasts with the bolder styles of his predecessors, Dolci's paintings continue to resonate with viewers seeking a touch of the ethereal. This book explores the nuanced charm of Dolci's work, placing it within the context of the Florentine Renaissance and demonstrating its enduring appeal as a testament to the power of sweetness and spirituality in art.
