Oil on canvas. Signed on the right, on the hem of Mars' robe. On the back there is a dedication to Davide Campari by the artist who chose a mythological subject on the occasion of the "Orpheus" exhibition organized by Campari.
The painting comes from the Campari company collection.
The mythological subject, classicism in itself, presents Venus and Mars sitting in a loving attitude on the clouds above the sea, who are toasting with... a Campari, brought to them by Eros in the famous Crodino bottle.
While firmly rooted in the modern world, Antonella Cappuccio's work often addresses Italian Renaissance subjects and incorporates the style of Italian masters.
His work is marked by an intense relationship with matter, especially paper, and by a profound sense of time, memory and the spirituality of the artistic gesture.
