LUCA MOMBELLO (Orzivecchi, 1518/1520 - 1588/1596)
Carved, gilded, and polychrome wooden frame
Gouache gilding in pure gold on red bole preparation
Brescia, mid-16th century

Rabbit 104x87 cm

External and internal parts of the frame carved with successive leaf motifs. Raised body, sculpted to represent elegant vegetal motifs, and centered by four angel heads with spread wings. Corners carved to depict acanthus leaves underlined by color.
The frame, of refined execution, both in terms of carving, gilding, and polychromy, is the work of the Brescia artist Luca Mombello, a well-known painter of the Moretti school, who, in the first half of the 16th century, thanks to his talent, was also a skilled carver and producer of frames.
