About the Item

Allegorical Bacchic Scene Unidentified Artist 19th Century (Neoclassical / Academic Style) Oil on canvas Framed: 129 x 467 cm Canvas: 115 x 452 cm No Signatured Description This grand-scale decorative oil painting depicts a Bacchic allegory of harvest and abundance, featuring playful cherubs (putti) engaged in grape gathering and winemaking. The composition, reminiscent of Neoclassical and Academic art from the 19th century, blends mythological symbolism with an idealized representation of nature. At the center of the scene, a cherub stands in a wooden wine barrel, playfully peeking out while adorned with grapevines, suggesting the festivities of Bacchus, the god of wine. To the left, another cherub kneels on a white cloth, arranging an overflowing basket of grapes, while a third figure energetically pushes the barrel, adding movement and a whimsical dynamic to the composition. The lush vineyard backdrop, along with an expansive rolling landscape and distant water views, enhances the idyllic and pastoral charm of the artwork. This style of ornamental mural painting was often commissioned for opulent 19th-century interiors, salons, or grand dining rooms, inspired by the Renaissance and Rococo traditions of Boucher, Tiepolo, and Bouguereau. The use of soft, warm tones, realistic drapery, and a romanticized atmosphere aligns with the period’s taste for idealized classical themes. Provenance & Condition Excellent decorative value, ideal for luxury interiors, wine cellars, or collectors of classical art. Framed in a refined gilded border, enhancing its historical and artistic elegance. Minor signs of aging, consistent with its time period, but overall well-preserved condition. This monumental painting is a rare and striking addition to any collection, perfectly suited for historical estates, classical-inspired interiors, or wine-related establishments.
