About this work
"The Venetian cinquecento was particularly well represented through names like Bassano, Palma, Titian and Veronese, while the seventeenth century was represented by such masters as Ribera, Rosa (Fig. 6, here attributed to the circle of Pier Francesco Mola) and Cignani (Fig. 7). Furthermore, the collection contained works by the contemporary Italian painters admired by the prince and his companions: Sebastiano Bombelli, Niccolò Cassana (1659-1714) and Johann Carl Loth (Fig. 8)" (Jesper Svenningsen. "A noble circle. The vogue for collecting Italian paintings in Denmark 1690-1730": p. 14)
