Gianluca Ferrante · 1628
- Medium
- Oil on canvas
- Dimensions

The god appears as pure weather — a roiling darkness that the nymph leans into with an expression of terror and surrender in equal measure. Ferrante was working in Rome at the height of the Baroque and had studied Correggio's original closely. His version replaces tenderness with storm.
