Romanelli was a versatile artist who dabbled in various themes and styles throughout his career. From religious scenes like "Saint Cecilia" to historical events such as "The Massacre of the Innocents, " Romanelli's oil on canvas works were both captivating and thought-provoking. One of his notable creations, "Allegory of Fame, " showcased his ability to depict abstract concepts with finesse. Created between 1646 and 1648, this piece exudes grandeur and elegance, leaving viewers mesmerized by its intricate details. In addition to these profound subjects, it also explored biblical narratives like "Three women pulling in the basket with the infant Moses from the water. " This painting from ca. 1729 beautifully captures the moment when Moses is saved from certain death, showcasing Romanelli's talent for storytelling through art. Another noteworthy work by Romanelli is "The presentation of the Virgin in the Temple. " Created by Christof Lederwasch between 1670-80 but attributed to Romanelli, this painting depicts a significant event in Christian tradition with grace and reverence. Romanelli's range extended beyond religious and biblical themes; he also delved into classical mythology. One example is "The Sacrifice of Polyxena, " a powerful portrayal that showcases his mastery over capturing intense emotions within a single frame. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that even though some artworks are misattributed or created by unknown artists like the sketch for decorative painting from France (1928), they still bear resemblance to Romanelli's style due to their attention to detail and composition. Romanelli's fascination with mythology can be seen once again in pieces like "Chronos and his child" where he explores complex relationships between gods. Additionally, he depicted poignant moments such as "Jephthas Daughter, " evoking empathy through his brushstrokes.
