NUVOLONE (Italian School, 17th/18th Century) THREE PUTTI BY A STREAMOil on canvas
Housed in a deeply recessed carved mahogany frame with gilt liner
Signed lower left "Nuvolone"
Note: Two 17th century Italian painters with the surname of Nuvolone include Giuseppe (1619-1703) and Carlos (1608-1665). Although these artists are known to have included putti in their works, there are no signatures to compare to. Further, each artist painted with heavy chiaroscuro and much darker foreboding atmospheric conditions. This whimsical painting was likely painted in the late Baroque period by a follower of Giuseppe.
