This preparatory oil sketch by Giovanni Domenico Ferretti captures Rococo grandeur with dynamic movement, vibrant color, and soft golden light. The figures, rendered in flowing drapery and dramatic poses, appear weightless, conveying both graceful motion and spiritual intensity—a hallmark of Ferretti’s large-scale frescoes influenced by Venetian painters yet marked by Florentine elegance.

Giovanni Domenico Ferretti (1692–1768) was a leading Italian Rococo painter celebrated for ornate frescoes, mythological themes, and religious compositions. This sketch exemplifies his ability to translate grand narratives into fluid, elegant compositions, preparing for the monumental works that would adorn Italy’s most prestigious interiors.

Due to variation in monitor settings, finished products may appear different than they do on your screen.

To offer a broad range of sizes, each image is carefully adapted to its canvas dimensions. As a result, slight variations in composition may occur, and some reproductions may differ subtly from the original work.

Our canvases feature mirrored edges to create a seamless wrap-around effect without altering the original image. This effect is more noticeable on smaller canvas sizes.
