EARLY 18th CENTURY OVAL PAINTING VENUS AND CUPID

About the Item

This beautiful oval painting, created using the oil on canvas technique, features a horizontal orientation and depicts the goddess Venus half-naked and sitting on a stool, while she watches over her son Cupid sleeping on a small bed. The goddess holds a small bronze lantern in her hand, adding a touch of mystery and magic to the image. The details and colors are treated with great precision, giving the subjects extraordinary realism and engaging expressiveness. The scene conveys a sense of calm and serenity, and an intimate and enveloping atmosphere. The painter of this work can be attributed to the Cortonesca School of the early 18th century, highlighting a strong influence of the Italian Baroque. The carved and gilded frame with pure gold leaf, decorated with floral scrolls and masks typical of central Italy, further enhances the work and gives it a timeless elegance.
