Albani developed a style defined by grace and soft lighting, a result of his early study of Correggio in Parma. He often placed mythological or religious figures within expansive outdoor settings. His series for Cardinal Scipione Borghese, known as the Borghese Tondi, uses these settings to explore themes of love and chastity. These works use a palette inspired by Titian and are populated by small, delicate figures. His ability to balance human forms with natural scenery later became a major influence on the French Rococo movement.

Modern collectors value Albani for the domestic scale of his art. Unlike the overwhelming size of many Baroque works, his paintings were originally meant for the home. His depictions of Venus and Cupids or the Holy Family offer a sense of quietude. The clear compositions and soft colour transitions make his prints suitable for contemporary interiors. These works reflect the refined tastes of the seventeenth-century Papal States while maintaining a decorative quality that remains relevant.
