About this work

Overview

Created in 1730 by the Italian artist Carlo Innocenzo Carlone, Verherrlichung des Lammes is a Rococo‑period oil painting now part of the Alte Pinakothek’s collection. The work presents a lively assembly of figures arranged along a gentle curve, combining standing, seated and reclining postures to generate a sense of motion within the composition.

Subject & Meaning

The scene portrays a celebratory gathering, suggested by the title’s reference to the lamb as a symbol of triumph or sacrifice. The varied gestures and interactions among the participants convey a communal reverence, while the overall arrangement hints at a narrative moment poised on the brink of action.

Technique & Style

Carlone employs a palette that shifts from deep blues and purples to warm golden hues, establishing depth and atmospheric contrast. Skilled modeling of light and shadow gives the figures a three‑dimensional presence, and careful anatomical rendering reflects the artist’s realistic approach within the decorative Rococo idiom.

History & Provenance

After its completion in the early eighteenth century, the painting entered the holdings of the Bavarian court and eventually was transferred to the Alte Pinakothek, where it remains on display. Its provenance traces a typical path for works by artists active in the Holy Roman Empire during the Rococo era.

Context

Carlone worked across the Italian and Germanic regions, bridging artistic traditions of the Baroque and the lighter Rococo style. Verherrlichung des Lammes exemplifies his ability to integrate dynamic composition with the ornamental elegance favored by patrons of the Holy Roman Empire in the early 1700s.
