Allegorical Oil Painting – Abundance and Prosperity (18th Century European School)
Medium: Oil on canvas
Century: 18th century
Dimensions:
Framed: 149 x 193 cm
Flat: 132 x 178 cm
This grand allegorical oil painting from the 18th century is a celebration of abundance, fertility, and the harmony between nature and human livelihood. Likely inspired by classical mythology or pastoral allegories, the composition presents a richly detailed scene featuring a woman symbolizing agriculture and fertility, a fisherman representing bounty from the sea, and a child as an emblem of continuity and prosperity.
The foreground is filled with symbolic elements of earth’s riches, including rabbits, pheasants, a dog, fruit, vegetables, and freshly caught fish, reinforcing themes of sustenance and seasonal harvests. The woman, draped in flowing garments, gestures toward the man carrying a basket of fish upon his head, while he holds a trident and a fish in his hand—classic references to Neptune or the patronage of the sea. The background, with a distant seascape, boats, and a dramatic sky, further deepens the painting’s narrative of trade, prosperity, and the cyclical connection between land and water.
Executed in the Rococo or Baroque tradition, the painting exhibits dynamic movement, soft yet vibrant color contrasts, and theatrical composition, hallmarks of 18th-century European allegorical art. The expressive figures, dramatic drapery, and idyllic setting suggest influence from Italian and French schools, possibly linked to the works of François Boucher, Sebastiano Ricci, or the Venetian pastoral painters.
A magnificent and museum-quality piece, this large-scale canvas is ideal for collectors of classical allegorical paintings, period European artworks, and historical compositions. Its rich iconography and finely detailed execution make it an impressive centerpiece for both private collections and institutional displays.
