About the Item

A beautiful neoclassical painting made in oil on canvas and framed in a contemporary carved and gilded wooden frame. The painting features a notable use of chiaroscuro and shadows and the scene depicts a bacchanal, in the center of which stands out a fainted young man, immersed in the orgy of the party. The young man wears tunics and a necklace with blue stones, while holding a cup and a broken amphora, from which wine was being poured. Around him appear several characters, visible only by their lower limbs, among which you can see tunics and a shoe decorated with stars; finally, there is also a hand. The setting features, on the wall, a dance scene that recalls Etruscan wall paintings, a clear sign of the artist's classical inspiration. Finally, at the bottom, on the right edge of the painting, the author's initials are visible. It is attributed to a painter from the Italian area of the neoclassical period, around the second half of the 18th century. Measurements: H x W x D overall 71 x 116 x 3cm; H x W work only 48 x 93cm
