Item description

Nymphs and satyrs at the bath. Oil on canvas. On the back is a period cartouche with French inscription "Academic Landscape; The Bath of the Nymphs Disturbed by Satyrs" and attribution to Hippolyte Lebrun (French painter working in Italy during the first half of the 19th century). The large scene is framed, as a backdrop, from inside a rocky cavern in the middle of a verdant and shady little valley. In it flows a river to form pools of water, within which a group of nymphs bathe, disturbed by some satyrs, who chase and undermine them. The scene actually has a very playful character, like a mischievous entertainment between the different characters. The figures, small compared to the landscape, are an added component, enhancing its character of serenity and pleasure; the reference to classical culture is consonant with the period of neoclassicism. The painting shows traces of restoration. It is offered in a styled frame.
