About the Item

Oil on Canvas. Signed lower right. The god is depicted standing to fill the scene, clad only in a cloth that encircles his loins and by ivy leaves, placed on the hips and on his head, while holding a chalice in one hand; his gaze is vacuous and dazed. Behind him, a semi-recumbent putto plays with ivy. All around, white clouds, just as the supporting ground is white, with flashes of blue sky and a green bush creating the only contrasts. On the back of the work is label "Mario Galli Art Collection," with cataloging number 64 and autograph inscription by the artist. The work well represents the painting of this Modenese-born artist, but who trained artistically first in Rome and then in Florence, where he spent most of his life. His rich production initially proposed mainly historical subjects, but later he also turned to portraiture and finally to landscape: its uniqueness is recognized in its ability to range from the historical subject, often placed in settings drawn from ancient Pompeii, to the Macchiaioli-style naturalism of his second period, in which Muzzioli sought a meaningful perception of atmosphere and light in subjects inspired by the Tuscan rural environment, often placed in antiquity. In this work, a portrait of a mythological character, the artist's luministic intent strongly shines through, the search for the effect of light playing in the naked bodies of the god and the putto, to fade then into the background. The Art Gallery label leads back to Florentine Mario Galli (1877 -1946), a sculptor who was also an important collector of works especially by Macchiaioli painters. The work has a major crack and has been retiled. It is presented in a stylish frame.
