Bacchanal of Putti
School of P. Paul Rubens (Siegen 1577-Antwerp 1640)
Oil on canvas
Canvas size 120 x 82 frame 134 x 97
The painting is still on its original canvas
Very good condition
The painting clearly expresses all the pictorial characteristics, both stylistic and chromatic, of the unmistakable art of Peter Paul Rubens.
Indeed, this interesting work, which proposes a particularly captivating subject, is part of the infinite repertoire of the great Flemish Master, perhaps the main exponent of the Baroque in Europe.
The canvas is very bright and the naked bodies of the Putti struck by the light stand out with a beautiful volumetric effect from the dark background.
In addition to the four protagonists, portrayed in poses perfectly studied to form an ensemble of elegant balance, a sheep and a fruit composition are depicted.
The colors are warm and nuanced and the contrast between light and shadow is perfectly calibrated.
The figures are round and fleshy, and respond to the most classic dictates of his painting.
The author of the painting is part of the circle of pupils and followers who followed his extraordinary painting.
The large size of the canvas and the excellent sensation to the eye, denote a remarkable knowledge of pigments and a great mastery of the palette.
