About the Item

Roman school of the 17th/18th century The nymph Daphne with Cupid Oil on canvas 49 x 57 cm Framed 69 x 75 cm This extremely pleasing and decorative painting depicts a nymph accompanied by the young Cupid, portrayed outdoors near a waterfall, and belongs to the repertoire of late 17th/18th century Roman painting. The composition of the scene still follows Baroque dictates, with the stylistic and figurative characteristics of the painting evoking echoes of 17th-century Roman painting; the painting is immediately reminiscent of Pietro da Cortona, although the artist's style bears elements of classicist influence. The subject could well have been inspired by one of the most famous and frequently depicted stories in art, that of Apollo and Daphne, taken from Ovid's Metamorphoses (I, 450-567). Judging by the pose of the nymph, portrayed with her gaze turned away as if fleeing, it recalls the moment when Daphne flees from Apollo after Cupid has struck him with his arrow, making him fall madly in love with her. The setting also suggests this subject, as a waterfall flowing into a river can be seen in the background: when she reaches the riverbank, Daphne prays to the river god Peneus, her father, to turn her into a laurel tree so that Apollo will stop pursuing her. It is therefore likely that this is a painting from a series depicting different moments of the myth, where we see Daphne's escape, while Cupid turns to the viewer to point out the scene with a mocking smile. It could also be a trial painting or sketch for a more complex canvas. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is sold complete with a pleasant frame and comes with a certificate of guarantee and authenticity, with a descriptive iconographic card.

This magnificent composition, depicting two little fluttering cupids intent on holding up a garland of flowers, can be traced back, both for the stylistic characteristics and for the compositional taste, to a master active in the fervid seventeenth-century Baroque Rome.
