About the Item
This painting depicts a fascinating allegory of winter, attributed to Francesco Zucchi, an 18th-century Venetian artist. The work depicts an anthropomorphic figure composed of fruits, vegetables, and plants typical of the winter season, in perfect style inspired by the tradition of Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
The head is formed by a savoy cabbage, a symbol of winter crops.
The body and hands are an assemblage of citrus, apples, roots and other natural elements, evocative of the lushness of nature in winter.
The background features dark and neutral tones, creating a strong contrast with the vibrant details of the natural elements.
The work is embellished with an original 18th-century, richly decorated frame, which adds further historical and decorative value to the painting.
This unique piece is an extraordinary example of allegorical Baroque art, perfect for collectors or lovers of ancient art who are looking for a work with a strong visual and symbolic impact.
