Matteo Stom (Venezia, 1644 - 1702)
Technique: Oil painting on canvas
Dimensions: In an important gilded frame 67x93 cm, in a frame 87x118 cm
Expertise of Prof. Giancarlo Sestieri & nbsp;

The battle takes place under a sky dense with black clouds and crossed by glimpses of light, which illuminate the scene with unreal glows, allowing the painter to make the figures on the second floors almost monochrome (...) to (…) Matteo Stom.
