Another Italian Angel-Trombonist

A few days ago I mentioned in this blog an angel-trombone painting by Procaccini. Well, that one led to another image by the same artist (as these things often do). Here it is, along with its caption, below. You can also see it in context in the 17th century timeline and in the HubPages article on angel-trombonists.
