The Virgin and Child
1708 - 1710. Oil on canvas.Room 023
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.
