About the piece
Created in 1637, this masterful Baroque work by Giovanni Francesco Romanelli depicts Chronos, the personification of Time, soaring through a turbulent sky. Romanelli utilizes dramatic chiaroscuro and a dynamic diagonal composition to emphasize the power of the central figure, who carries his characteristic scythe while clutching an infant—a classical allegory for the devouring nature of time.
