Painted Mirror and Putti
Carlo Maratta and Giovanni Stanchi “Painted Mirror with a Garland of Flowers and Four Putti”
Oil on mirror (230 x 170 cm) 1670
The fashion for painted mirrors spread throughout Rome in the 17th century.
Giovanni Stanchi specialised in painting flowers on mirrors, while Carlo Maratta, who collaborated with him on this mirror, specialised in depicting putti.
The distinctive feature of this painted mirror is the creation of a veritable painting within the frame.
