Russian Art
Losenko, A. P.
"Zeus and Thetis". 1769
Notes: Zeus and Thetis
In the work "Zeus and Thetis" one finds evidence of Losenko's passion for the Baroque painters of France and Italy. The canvas is also informed by his familiarity with Classical sculpture as well as the work of Mengs and other late eighteenth-century continental painters of the Neoclassical school.
