About the Item
17th-century Flemish oil-on-copper painting depicting a foreshortened landscape with figures, a genre scene with a multitude of crowded characters in a street with classical architecture in the background. On the left side of the composition, on a stage in front of a portal decorated with bas-reliefs, six figures of theatricals, actors in the commedia dell'arte: a dentist at work on a patient, a proclaiming gentleman, a lady, a child, and a masked histrion. Below the stage, in the audience, a multitude of passers-by, characters immersed in a wide variety of scenes of everyday activities, distinguished from each other according to the usual Flemish realism; vendors, dogs and a cart pulling a horse enrich the scenery of this cross-section of life.
This original, small-scale painting from around 1650 succeeds in depicting a genre scene dense with characters, consisting of more than forty figures that crowd this Flemish-origin depiction with great realism and attention to detail; the work comes from a private collection, is unsigned and is in good condition, consistent with the date; it is presented within a modern guilloché frame of ebonized wood.
The painting on copper only measures 15 x 23 cm.
To export an antique art object from Italy, an export license called BELLE ARTI must be applied for from the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage. the issuance of such a government license takes a couple of weeks or so, to be added to the order's shipping time.
