Allegory For The Wedding Of Umberto Of Savoy And Margherita Of Savoy, 1868
Allegory for the Wedding of Umberto of Savoy and Margherita of Savoy, 1868
An important oil-on-canvas painting, set in Piedmont and likely in Turin, depicting an original celebratory allegory created for the wedding of Prince Umberto of Savoy to Princess Margherita, which took place in Turin in 1868
At the center of the composition stands an imposing, theatrical monument, richly adorned with festoons, drapery, and allegorical motifs, surmounted by the crowned Savoy coat of arms. The structure is set within an evocative imaginary landscape featuring waterfalls, mountains, rocks, palm trees, and exotic vegetation, brought to life by figures and sculptural elements.
Also of great interest is the handwritten cartouche preserved on the reverse of the canvas—now partially deteriorated—in which references to the wedding, to Margherita, and to the year 1868 are recognizable.
A work of considerable historical and iconographic interest, linked to the extraordinary celebrations organized in Turin for the Savoy wedding.
Oil on canvas, c. 1868
Piedmontese school, Turin circle
Handwritten inscription on the reverse
Period gilded wooden frame
Dimensions with frame: 85 × 65 cm
