About the Item
This remarkable 19th-century Italian creation combines the artistry of oil painting with the functionality of a decorative tray. The piece features a captivating Pompeian feast scene meticulously rendered on a rectangular alabaster slab, which is set within an exquisite gilt bronze frame supported by cast arrow feet. Originally part of a larger surtout de table, this versatile item now stands alone as a striking decorative element.
The painting depicts a sumptuous Roman banquet set against a backdrop of opulent ancient architecture. The artist has skillfully captured the essence of Neoclassical style, with particular attention to Pompeian aesthetics. The interior scene is rich with detail, showcasing grandiose Roman architectural elements, intricate mosaic floors adorned with a Medusa head motif, and an exotic leopard fur draped nearby. The room is further embellished with authentic Roman frescoes, period-appropriate furniture, sculptures, and vibrant floral festoons, all rendered in vivid, eye-catching colors.
This work exemplifies the Neo-Pompeian genre that gained popularity across Europe during the Late Victorian era. The style and subject matter are reminiscent of renowned artists such as Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, while the execution bears similarities to the works of Italian painters Luigi Bazzani and Ettore Forti. The realistic portrayal of ancient Roman daily life and events adds historical interest to the piece's decorative appeal.
The painting's alabaster base and gilt bronze frame are in very good overall condition, displaying a stable structure and desirable patina. The colors remain bright and saturated, enhancing the scene's visual impact. This piece offers versatility in display options, serving beautifully as a table centerpiece, a decorative element on a console, or even as wall art with appropriate framing.
Measuring 5 cm in height, 60 cm in width, and 44 cm in depth, this oil on alabaster tray is well-proportioned for various interior settings. Its classical beauty and convenient scale make it an ideal addition to both traditional and contemporary decor schemes.
Versatile Display Options:
Originally part of a larger surtout de table, this piece now offers multiple display possibilities:
• As a decorative centerpiece on a table or console
• Transformed into a wall decoration (framing options available)
Perfect for collectors of fine Neoclassical art, interior designers seeking a statement piece, or anyone passionate about ancient Roman aesthetics. This oil on alabaster painting will bring classical beauty and historical allure to any space, whether in a traditional or contemporary setting.
NOTE: the price includes a custom-made wooden crate, providing optimal protection for this exquisite piece during shipping.
