Abstract

The charm of Fetti's imagination and his sympathetic observation of human behavior have most frequently been admired in his paintings of parable subjects.1 It is true that when Fetti painted the parables, he had assimilated into his own peculiarly disarming pictorial language the visual experiences acquired earlier in Rome and North Italy; and that he was in full command of his personal pictorial means. As a group, therefore, the parable paintings hold a distinguished place within Fetti's oeuvre. Historically, they also playa significant role in the context of Venetian Baroque painting.
