The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC (NGA) has acquired a painting of The Stoning of Saint Stephen by Aurelio Lomi (1556-1622).
As their press release explains:
Created while Lomi was living in Genoa (1597–c. 1604), this work is an exquisite example of the artist’s meticulously constructed compositions and figures, as well as his ability to create works suffused with light. It epitomizes the transition from the stylization of late mannerism to the more naturalistic light, movement, and texture of baroque style.
The museum has also acquired a complete set of The Seven Sacraments by Jean Dughet engraved after Nicholas Poussin.
