Verified profile
Splendid work of the maturity of Valerio Castello is a typical expression of his joyful pictorial universe that heralds the Rococo. The allegory of Liberality - recognizable by the cornucopia, the fruits and the golds - was once preserved in the Doria di Montaldeo collection together with an Allegory of Charity, another virtue that is opposed to avarice. The mixtilinear format of the painting is not original, but it is evidently due to an eighteenth-century intervention that transformed it into a graceful superimposed baroque style. The girl's hair cut in the upper part reveals the reduction of the surface of the canvas.
