Liberation of Saint Peter

Marco Antonio Bassetti1620

Museo di Castelvecchio

Museo di Castelvecchio
Verona, Italy

Set in the solitude and darkness of the prison, the theme lent itself to being depicted on a touchstone. The quick and almost insolent workmanship in the rustic definition of the objects, and the simplified and idiomatic language suggest to place the painting in the last period of the artist's activity, at the end of the third decade of the 17th century.
