About the Item

Beautiful oil painting on canvas, framed in an elegant carved and gilded wooden frame, complete with mirror. This work, belonging to the famous Florentine painter Raffaello Sorbi, bears the artist's signature at the bottom right and is dated 1863, placing it in his early youthful production. Sorbi's stylistic characteristics are clearly visible, in which the warm Macchiaioli tones blend with neo-Gothic and romantic subjects, taken from the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. In this case the painting portrays the meeting between Dante and Beatrice, set in Florence, in front of a church, probably the Badia Fiorentina, a place frequented by both Dante, Beatrice and their respective families. Against the backdrop of Renaissance Florence, you can see people entering and leaving the church, while on the sides of the main scene there are figures of the people and a little girl sitting on the steps. The central scene represents the meeting between a young Dante, wearing the characteristic red tunic, and the young Beatrice, who walks arm in arm with her mother, the latter dressed in an ornate and typical noble dress. Dante's gaze, enraptured by Beatrice's beauty, expresses deep admiration. Beatrice, with an angelic face, wears an elegant white dress and a delicate veil on her hair; while with one eye she looks at the ground, with the other she seems to silently meet Dante's gaze. The attention to detail is clearly extraordinary: a butterfly flies lightly and the grass grows between the stones of the street, while the bright colors and strong realism make this work of absolute value and beauty. Finally, the painting is in excellent condition. Dimensions: H x W x D overall 126 x 102.5 x 7cm; work only H x W 100 x 76cm
