Oil On Canvas After Watteau, "nymph And Satyr" Called "jupiter And Antiope"

Reproduction of mythological painting by Antoine Watteau. Original painted between 1712 and 1714 in the Louvre Museum. 64 x 91cm. Signed lower right. Excellent condition of the canvas superbly restored and cleaned in early 2023. Frame with some easily restorable gaps. (We can take care of its restoration). Superb overall impression and magnificent luminosity. Conjugation of devices of break-in and desire on the one hand and of secret and intimate exhibited on the other. Jupiter, in the guise of a satyr, breaks into the nudity of the nymph Antiope during her sleep when the nudity of the young woman is fully revealed to us. We are indignant at the lewdness of the satyr while fully enjoying what he barely sees. The break-in that provokes aesthetic enjoyment is thus moralized. Masterful.
