About the Item
Oil on Canvas. Italian school of the early 20th century.
The large scene is set in a desolate landscape completely covered in snow: on the left in the foreground, behind a group of wagons and mobile homes (probably a gypsy camp) a woman weeps peeking out from behind a tarp; she watches the figures walking away the center of the scene, only silhouettes but clearly definable: two gendarmes flank a man in plain clothes, evidently translated into arrest.
A lamppost and some dry, bare saplings occupy the space on the right.
The whole scene, painted with broad brushstrokes and without contours, is dominated by the grayish-white hues of the snow, the chalky sky, and the indistinct background peaks, i.e., all the naturalistic elements, including one of the two horses tied up at rest, while the other elements, the figures, the dwelling, the lampposts, the other horse, and even the footprints in the snow that trace the path of the three figures in the distance, are connoted by brown and ochre colors, rather dull: the whole emphasizes the drama of the scene, perhaps even the woman's despair and sense of loneliness and abandonment.
Restored and re-tinted, the painting appears unsigned on the front (possible signature on the back covered by the re-tinting?).
The painting is presented in styled frame.

- Antique Oil on Canvas Painting "Dancing Nymphs" Mythological Landscape SceneLocated in Firenze, ITA luxuriant forest is the romantic and lyrical landscape where the dance of the nude nymphs takes place in this joyful 19th Century antique oil on canvas painting featuring a mythological scene. Dance of the Nymphs and Naiads is a myth inspired by the tales of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, a subject already much loved in the Renaissance period as an allegory of rebirth - as in one of the most famous paintings in the world the Spring by Sandro Botticelli- then reproduced throughout the neoclassicism by academic painters -due to the renewed interest in classical artworks following the discovery of archaeological sites- and taken up later, with ecological purposes and meanings, also by the Barbizon school and Impressionist artists. The present artwork – signed Vagner low left and datable to the second half of the 19th century - is closely inspired by an important work by the great Camille Corot, which is now housed at the Musée d'Orsay (Paris). This historical oil on canvas painting, featuring a joyful scene with the three graces and other dancing nymphs...Category
