About the Item
This scene of the walled city of Fez in Morocco is populated by figures in small groups and within caravans of camels, bringing trade goods to and from the city. Lying below distant hills, Fez and its defensive walls dominate the middle ground of this work. The city sprawls behind its walls from one edge of the scene to the other. The setting is illuminated from the left by evening sunlight, which rakes the landscape and illuminates the ochre walls of the city, its minarets, and the left flank of the distant hills. The entire composition is evocative of 19th Century Fez, and the romantic, dimly lit early evening mood of the work is complemented by the colour palette utilised by the artist: burnt oranges and shades of turquoise blue predominate, granting an overall warm character to the painting.
The painting is signed indistinctly, is labelled ‘Fez’, and is dated by the artist to 1864.

- 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
