Max Pellegrini
Psiche e Amore

1998-2001

About the Item

A painting by Max Pellegrini. "Psiche e Amore" is an oil on canvas painting executed in a lush palette primarily of deep blues, greens, flesh tones, rust and green and depicting female figures huddled together in a forest by contemporary artist Max Pellegrini. In “Psiche e Amore”, Pellegrini references both Greek mythology and the Roman writer, Apuleius’s story. Moreover, the figures in their position and clothing echo the style of Old Master artists that created works inspired by the Classics who also dressed their figures in contemporary clothing. Nevertheless, the wistful colors and repetition of figures complicates any simple understanding. Signed lower left, "Max Pellegrini '01"
