The Apotheosis of Hercules - a bozzetto

We are grateful to Professor Riccardo Lattuada for the attribution made from photographs.

Although born in Genoa, Narici's style was formed in Naples, where he is documented between 1751 and 1779. Alizeri records him as a pupil of Solimena, his work revealing a knowledge of Jacopo Cestaro, Francesco de Mura and Domenico Mondo.
