ERCOLE GRAZIANI JUNIOR
( Bologna, 1688 – 1765)

The Virtue expelling the Vice
Oil on canvas, 233 x 182 cm
This cycle is attributed to Ercole Graziani, a Bolognese painter, Donato Creti’s pupil.
The paintings presented here were part probably of a series depicting allegorical themes. The Virtue expelling the Vice and The Pride offending the Virtue seem to be of a superior quality in comparison of the last canvas. The little angel with a trumpet announcing the triumph of Virtue recalls the cherub in the top left of the Holy Family (Bologna, Basilica di S. Francesco) of the same author for some physiognomic elements - such as the shape of the lips, the shape of the eyes and chubby cheeks .
