Melancholy by Domenico Fetti

Melancholy by Domenico Fetti

In the first half of the XVII century, Venice was visited, admiring its artistic treasures, and willingly created in it by artists from other cities and countries. Roman Domenico Fetti arrived there from Mantua, where he served as a painter at the Dukes of Gonzaga and studied in a magnificent palace collection samples of Venetian painting.

Fetty became a follower of the rebel of Caravaggio; acquaintance with the German Adam Elshheimer, another kind of caravagist, forced him to submit to the effects of contrasts of light and shadow, and admiration for the expression of Rubens compositions confirmed in an effort to convey the tremulous fluidity of the pictorial texture with a free stroke that preserves the trace of the brush movement. His composition “Melancholy” Fetti filled with many symbols, known for the masterpiece of Durer.

Attributes surrounding the female figure, reminiscent of his winged genius, mean the Christian postulate of the frailty and vanity of existence, and the vine – the one who took upon himself the sins of man in the name of eternal good life.
