Description:
On the ridge of the eighteenth century, an academic painting with a marked sentimentalism spread in Florence, made up of aristocratic creatures with languid expressions.
The workshop of Anton Domenico Gabbiani where Pucci was trained was the promoter of this taste linked to the new seventeenth and eighteenth-century vision of the "poetics of the affections" that has always been the common thread in Florentine and Tuscan painting in general.
