About the Item

19th century four Italian oil on panel with allegory of the four elements Dimensions with frame: cm H 34.5 x L 25; only the table: cm H 29 x L 20.5 The funny oil on panel, by an artist active in Piedmont, in the north of Ital, in the first half of the 19th century, represent the allegory of the four elements of the Earth. They are inspired by the group of four etching prints of circa 1730, made to a design by Rococo painter Jacopo Amigoni (Naples 1682- Paris 1752) and engraved in Venice by Joseph Wagner (Gestratz, 1706 – Venice, 1780). Each painting represents the allegory of an element: the earth, the fire, the water and the air. The land is represented by a young couple in a rural environment; the young man, accompanied by a dog, offers a bouquet of flowers to the girl. The fire is represented by a burning building from which flees the couple who were preparing for a picnic, as suggested by the wicker basket with pottery that the boy supports. The element of water is remembered by fishing: while a young woman is busy fishing, a boy gives her a gift of fish caught with a net. The air is symbolically remembered by the flight of birds: in the painting you see a young man on a ladder resting on a tree takes a bird and gently hands it to the girl, ready to welcome him in the fabric of her dress. The four paintings reproduce the archaic taste widespread in the eighteenth century, in which the classic and simple pastoral poetry was celebrated, through the recovery of the myth of Arcadia. The Earth becomes a source of peace and serenity, a place of the soul, in which man lives in perfect harmony with Nature. The world of contemporary living rooms moves into small woods and rural environments, set by shepherds and shepherds. The works, in a good state of conservation, are characterized by a marked decoration and pleasantness of the subject. Articles accompanied by a "Certificate of Authenticity".

Set of 3, 19th Century Allegorical Reverse Glass Paintings

Located in Atlanta, GA

**Set of 3, 19th Century Allegorical Reverse Glass Paintings** This captivating set of **three 19th-century allegorical reverse glass paintings** presents richly detailed narratives imbued with symbolism and classical themes. Each painting is executed in the traditional reverse glass technique, providing a smooth and reflective surface that enhances the vibrant palette and fine detailing. 1. **Painting 1 (Left Panel):** This scene portrays a dramatic encounter, likely a moment of judgment or persuasion, set against a distant landscape. A figure in a flowing blue robe gestures emphatically toward a well-dressed couple, perhaps symbolizing conflict, intervention, or moral decision-making. The background includes a sweeping view of the countryside, with figures in the distance adding depth and context. 2. **Painting 2 (Center Panel):** The central panel features a pastoral scene steeped in allegorical significance. A central figure dressed in red, resembling a shepherd, commands attention under a radiant sunburst. Surrounding characters appear in moments of tension and repose, including a reclining figure and a soldier-like character. This composition evokes themes of guidance, struggle, and divine providence, with the bright sky and natural elements reinforcing the allegorical tone. 3. **Painting 3 (Right Panel):** The final panel depicts an intimate interior scene, with two seated women engaged in conversation, one gesturing emphatically as a standing male figure observes. The setting includes detailed furnishings, such as a writing desk, a red draped curtain, and objects hinting at scholarly or domestic pursuits. This tableau may represent themes of wisdom, counsel, or moral reflection, supported by the characters' thoughtful expressions and elaborate dress. Each painting is framed in its **original dark wooden frame**, complementing the vibrant colors and enhancing their display value. The set embodies the **19th-century European fascination with allegory and storytelling**, making it a significant piece for collectors of reverse glass art...
