Item description

Italian painting from the 17th century. Oil on canvas, depicting a splendid genre scene called bambocciante. It belongs to the pictorial school developed in Rome under Pieter Van Laer known as il bamboccio for its childish appearance. This school was joined by Flemish, Dutch and Italian painters active in Rome in that period who portrayed popular scenes of common life often in a satirical key. Even in our painting we find these elements with characters intent on playing or dancing among the ruins of ancient Rome. Note the sweetness and quality with which some details were painted, such as the dogs in the center of the composition. Non-coeval frame in lacquered and gilded wood, with some signs of aging (see photo). Work that has undergone restoration with relining, replacement of the frame and restoration of color in some places, overall in a good state of conservation. Light painting. H 29 x W 41 cm.
