"Italian School 18th Century Village Scene Of A Baunty "
Charming genre scene painted in oil depicting a lively and bawdy moment of village life, typical for the period. We discover a group of villagers gathered in a festive atmosphere: laughter, songs, familiar gestures, and a few mischievous winks to the human condition, in a lively and well-paced composition. The play of glances and attitudes underlines a popular and theatrical vein. The whole evokes the tradition of Italian manners painting, halfway between social satire and narrative pleasure, in the spirit of popular scenes inspired by the commedia dell'arte or tavern paintings.
