Pendant Of Ancient Oil Paintings On Canvas “allegorical/mythological Scenes”

An elegant Baroque pair of oil paintings on canvas.
The two works develop a refined allegorical dialogue typical of 17th-century figurative culture, combining symbolism and genre elements.
The first painting depicts an allegorical scene with animals set in a landscape. A dog, juxtaposed with a piece of meat, alludes to the themes of the senses, evoking the dimension of instinct, appetite, and the tension between conflicting impulses. The landscape setting and the presence of a figure in the background broaden the interpretation towards a moral reflection.
The second painting depicts a musical scene, with a reclining satyr playing the flute and dancing cherubs immersed in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere. The composition is enriched by musical instruments and a floral still life, symbolic elements linked to the themes of music, pleasure, and abundance. The overall effect evokes the sphere of harmony and sensory pleasure, in keeping with a typically Baroque sensibility common in Northern Italy and Northern European culture.
The pendant is presented in contemporary marbled wooden frames.
