UnknownAntique 19C. Oil painting on canvas, neoclassical Scene, Homer playing his Lyre
About the Item
This captivating 19th-century neoclassical oil painting on canvas depicts the legendary Greek poet Homer serenely playing his lyre beneath a canopy of ancient trees. Seated barefoot on a simple stool, draped in classical robes, Homer becomes the focal point of the composition, surrounded by a trio of youthful listeners and a loyal dog.
The scene radiates tranquility and reverence, with golden light filtering through the trees and casting soft shadows across the earth-toned landscape. In the background, figures stroll along a sun-dappled path leading to a bridge and distant buildings, suggesting a harmonious balance between nature, art, and civilization.
The painting’s romanticized setting and classical subject matter reflect the neoclassical era's admiration for antiquity, while the delicate details and warm palette evoke a sense of poetic nostalgia.
No visible signature on the front.
