DOMENICHINO (BOLOGNA 1581-NAPLES 1641)

The Flagellation of St Andrew

c.1622-5

RCIN 900387

Domenichino’s greatest work in Rome was his fresco cycle in the church of Sant’Andrea della Valle. This is the final design for the Flagellation of St Andrew, which occupies an irregular curved space in the vault. It was preceded by many individual life studies; here Domenichino arranged the figures in the perspectival space, before transferring the composition to a full-scale cartoon with the aid of the curving squared grid.
