Domenico Fetti, 1622 - Savior of the world - fine art print

Artwork description from the museum's website (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Christ is seated in clouds above a landscape, his left hand on an orb, his right raised in blessing, as he directs his gaze towards the viewer. The playful cherubs—especially the one peeking out beneath his blue cloak—and the illusionistic character of the composition are a sort of homage to the work of the great sixteenth-century painter Correggio. The picture was painted in Venice for Count Francesco Gambara of Brescia. Fetti had moved to Venice from Mantua following a fight with a fellow painter.
