Felice Torelli (Verona 1667 - Bologna 1748) Rachel Hiding the Idols Oil on canvas, 41 x 116 cm without frame - 52,5 x 127 cm with frame Original shaped and gilded wooden frames Expertise: Massimo Francucci Publications: Bozzetti, modelletti, sketches: dalla collezione di Giorgio Baratti (From the Giorgio Baratti Collection) curated by Anna Orlando, Agnese Marengo and Annalisa Scarpa, Genova, 2022, pp. 72, 73. In this work we can admire the biblical scene of Rachel intent on hiding the idols taken from her father Laban, shortly before fleeing with her husband Jacob. The freshness of the stroke and the intense compositional intelligence played on precise balances confirm the critics' attribution to Felice Torelli, an artist destined to become one of the most important exponents of the eighteenth-century artistic scene in Bologna.
