"Painting Italy Ancient Rome Scene Mythology Baroque Portrait Pegasus 17th Century Suv. Sebastiano Ricci "

Antique Italian painting, Roman school around 1700, oil on canvas depicting a scene from Greek mythology: "Hercules' choice between virtue and vice", inspired by the fable of Prodicus. Very lively, our painting represents Minerva showing the hesitant Hercules the path of virtue, symbolized by Pegasus (also the emblem of the Farnese family) at the top of a hill. In the foreground, 3 scattered putti frame the different parts of the composition. In the Ricci style. Some wear and small restorations, in an Empire period frame in gilded wood. Beautiful allegorical scene
