Oil On Canvas Depicting A Risorgimento Theme, Second Half Of The 19th Century
The painting features a central female figure playing the guitar.
The woman likely represents an allegory of Italy or a patriot. Her clothing is symbolic: she wears a red shirt, a clear reference to Garibaldi's troops.
Behind the woman emerges a man wearing a red hat. His protective stance and gaze directed at the proclamation suggest the figure of a volunteer ready for action.
The Guitar: A folk instrument par excellence, it symbolizes national harmony and the spread of patriotic sentiment through song and music.
The painting is in good condition, but conservative restoration is certainly recommended.
The quality is high, and the subject is quite rare.
The work was likely produced between 1866 and 1870, naturally in Italy.
It measures 118 cm by 93 cm.
