Bracci Pietro
Funerary Monument of Maria Clementina Sobiesky
The scenographic conception is still unmistakably in the Bernini tradition but the florid image of Charity is treated with subtlety and preciousness, placing the work in the full climate of the Rococo. This is ultimately confirmed by the insistent decorative rhythms of the drapery and the sophisticated coloristic effects obtained by the soft caress of light on precious marbles.
