Object description :

"Boy With A Melon. Oil On Canvas, Late 17th Century - Early 18th Century, Northern Italy."

This is a fascinating genre painting by a talented artist who tends to represent carefree scenes of everyday life, in this case this cute boy struggling with the cutting of a melon. It is possible to find tangible stylistic assonances with the excellent pictorial and portraiture methods of Vittore Ghislandi known as Fra Galgario, especially in the coloristic warmth used and the expressive frankness of the subject.

The painting is certainly worthy of more in-depth studies. The canvas is in excellent overall condition, with a fairly recent re-lining and is mounted on a beautiful gilded and carved frame in style.
