Venus in the Forge of Vulcan
Oil on canvas
cm. 147x187. Framed
The painting depicts Vulcan forging armour in the presence of Venus, the dramatic chiaroscuro and artificial lighting suggesting the influence of Caravaggio. Its stylistic features, particularly those recalling the Genoese painter Domenico Fiasella, suggest a possible attribution to his pupil Giovanni Battista Casoni.
