Item description
Oil painting on canvas. Signature and location Rome at bottom right. On the back of the frame there is a label with the artist's name and the words "Chez J. Spiridon, Rue Pigalle, Paris". Also present on the frame is a label with inventory number. The label refers to the French collector Joseph Spiridon (1845 -1930), who dedicated himself to continuing the collection of works of art already begun by his father Georges, purchasing them in Italy from Cardinal Fesch, the prelate stationed in Rome who was his once an important art collector. The location of the painting in Rome corresponds to the long period that the Valencian artist Vicente March spent in the capital, where he had arrived while still young to further his artistic training. March stood out in particular for his paintings of folkloric subjects and genre scenes, a follower of costumbrismo, the Spanish artistic-literary movement that took inspiration from the costumes and scenes of popular life. His works achieved widespread success throughout Europe, ending up in numerous private collections. In this painting, of fine quality, March proposes an interior scene in a patrician setting, with two girls in eighteenth-century dresses who amuse themselves by playing the lute, one and the other singing; the two figures are placed near a high worked window of a rich hall, with frescoed walls and furnished with tapestries, with inlaid furniture and a fine damask fabric on the table. The capacity for pictorial rendering of details and details is notable. The painting is presented in a contemporary frame from the end of the 19th century.
