MOLA, Pier Francesco
Italian Baroque Era Painter, 1612-1666
Painter and draughtsman, son of (1) Giovanni Battista Mola. His most characteristic works are small, intensely romantic scenes from mythology, the Bible, and from works by the poet Torquato Tasso, set in landscapes inspired by Venetian art. Yet he also received important public commissions for frescoes and altarpieces, and in his mature work he achieved an impressive synthesis of 17th-century Roman gran maniera painting with the stronger chiaroscuro and richer palette of the 16th-century Venetian style. He was a prolific and versatile draughtsman, who drew for pleasure as well as in preparation for commissions; he was also a witty caricaturist, who mocked himself and his friends as much as more typical targets Related Paintings of MOLA, Pier Francesco :. | Barbary Pirate with a Bow (mk05) | Barbary Pirate with a Bow | Self-Portrait | Herminia and Vafrino Tending the Wounded Tancred (mk05) | THe Rest on the Flight into Egypt | Related Artists: Murano, Andrea daRussian, approx. 1670-1740 Pierre-Adolphe Badinpainted Portrait of Charles Coiffier, in 1837
