Johann Peter Pichler, after Alessandro Turchi, called Orbetto

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting featuring dynamic figures interacting. The central figure is holding a lifeless child over his shoulders, surrounded by various women expressing concern and despair. The setting implies turmoil and helplessness, portrayed with fine detailing, expressive forms, and chiaroscuro. The style is reminiscent of Peter Paul Rubens.
