"Moses Parting the Red Sea"

Art authorities say that while Malo's early works retain Mannerist traits, his mature works showed a Baroque style close to that of Rubens and van Dyck. 

Malo was a pupil of the leading Flemish Baroque painter David Teniers the Elder while Soprani states that he studied in addition with Peter Paul Rubens. The fact that certain of Malo's works show his knowledge of the drawings used in Rubens' workshop is regarded as evidence that Malo did spend time in Rubens' workshop. From his two masters he would have learned the Flemish Baroque style of painting

Works byMalo are held in the collections of the Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti (Genoa), Palazzo Bianco (Genoa), Palazzo Colonna (Rome), Galleria nazionale di Parma (Parma), Vatican Museums (Rome), Pinacoteca di Brera (Milan), the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam), the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Art Gallery (Indianapolis). The Royal Collection holds three religious paintings attributed to Malo but these attributions are not firm
