The Virgin and Child
1708 - 1710. Oil on canvas.Not on display
Trevisani trained with his father, the architect Antonio Trevisani, and with Antonio Zanchi in Venice before moving to Rome where he studied with Carlo Maratti (1625-1713). This work, painted in his most tender style, reveals an interest in combining a delicate colour range with powerful contrasts of light that anticipates Trevisani’s subsequent move towards the Rococo, of which he was a significant exponent.
