Oil on canvas painting depicting 18th century allegorical scene 19thC
About the Item
Oval painting depicting the dance of cupids.
Romantic oil painting on canvas with an oval shape and gold leaf gilded frame.
The extraordinarily refined and highly decorative painting depicts an 18th-century allegory.
Centrally and in the foreground we find a group of merry winged putti dancing in circles at a tree to the rhythm of three playing putti above.
In the lower left corner you can appreciate in the background a woman is abducted by a man in a wagon.
In the upper left among the clouds, on the other hand, we find Venus with a torch kissing Cupid surmounting the Temple of Vesta, still standing in Rome today and the place where the Sacred Fire was kept.
A hilly landscape can be seen in the background.
The anonymous painting is dated late 19th century.

Our hunter is leaning against a stone pedestal, clad in blue coat and pants with his rifle beneath his right hand. The man is wearing a gold cap with red fabric attached to it and has a sword on his left hip. Three retriever dogs stand to the hunter’s left, while a fourth sits in front of him (the man appears to be motioning to this dog with his left hand). An orange terra cotta vase adorned with spiral fluting sits on top of a molded plinth at the top of the pedestal. Ivy has begun to wrap around the vase, which also is festooned with green drapery. On a ledge at the base of the pedestal is the felled game: a rabbit and three birds. The hunting display is surrounded by numerous trees and shrubbery. Mountains and a lake can be seen in the background, beneath a blue sky with pink and orange clouds and birds flying.
