Paolo Pagani

Paolo Pagani is a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.

Paolo Pagani made dramatic scenes full of mythological figures, think gods, satyrs, and wine jugs, painted in a theatrical style that straddles the late 1600s and early 1700s. His brush brought stories to life with bold colors and lively poses. You’ll see this in “Satir oferind o cană de must lui Bacchus,” where a wild-haired satyr hands a cup to the wine god. Stand in front of that painting, and you’re looking at a moment of movement frozen in time.
