Historical episode with emperor and leader, oil painting on canvas, 17th century
PLATINUM Seller in Milano, Italy
Item description
Southern Italian school oil painting on canvas, 17th century - 18th century. The scene, full of characters, sees standing in the center, well defined in the details of armor, crest, as well as anatomy, the figure of a leader; he is benevolently accompanying with the motion of his arms a kneeling man who, together with his companion, is paying homage to an emperor, pointing, however, with his outstretched hand to the group of six children, held on the right by soldiers. The emperor has risen from his throne, on the left, and goes to meet the prostrate couple, but he too seems almost in an attitude of reverence toward the central leader. The scene seems to refer to a historical episode of clemency by a leader, who by age, features, and type of armor, could be Alexander the Great, a character who is, however, difficult to match with the other laurel-crowned figure descending from his throne in the sumptuous palace. Thus the episode (historical or legend?) of reference cannot be specifically identified; it could be the meeting of Darius' family with Alexander the Great. One appreciates the compositional richness of the scene, with numerous well-detailed figures and vivid colors to emphasize its dynamism. The work, restored and restretched, is presented in an antique frame. Size without frame: 103 x 153 cm.
