Interior Scene with Cardinal – Natale Penati
Oil on canvas
Period: Late 19th century
Artist: Natale Penati (signed lower right)
Dimensions: 68 x 49 cm
Description: Refined interior scene set in a sumptuous aristocratic palace, featuring a meeting between a cardinal and a group of 18th-century nobles. The composition emphasizes the elegance of the garments. The decorative background is particularly successful, with walls adorned with gilded stucco, mirrors, wall sconces, and a painting of a knight in battle, adding depth and dynamism to the scene.
The painting is signed by Natale Penati, a Lombard artist active between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his lively genre scenes set in Rococo or Neoclassical settings. His canvases, often featuring cardinals, ladies, and nobles, stand out for their vibrant color palette and meticulous attention to costume detail. This painting is a fine example, with vivid colors, beautiful lighting, and careful rendering of fabrics and furnishings.
