The colouring of this picture is in the style of Rubens, fresh and brilliant, and has a striking effect by the brightness of its colours. Giordano was one of the most fortunate of the Italian painters, and had great honours and riches bestowed upon him by monarchs. [P. 2; exhibited under heading: "Oil Paintings."]
