About the Item

Oval painting depicting the dance of cupids. Romantic oil painting on canvas with an oval shape and gold leaf gilded frame. The extraordinarily refined and highly decorative painting depicts an 18th-century allegory. Centrally and in the foreground we find a group of merry winged putti dancing in circles at a tree to the rhythm of three playing putti above. In the lower left corner you can appreciate in the background a woman is abducted by a man in a wagon. In the upper left among the clouds, on the other hand, we find Venus with a torch kissing Cupid surmounting the Temple of Vesta, still standing in Rome today and the place where the Sacred Fire was kept. A hilly landscape can be seen in the background. The anonymous painting is dated late 19th century.
