French School (c. 1920) - The Bacchanalia

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Label from a Parisian art dealer on the stretcher (Taraire).

- This still life radiates a Dionysian spirit through its exuberant materiality, where tactile textures evoke ecstasy and earthly abundance. The bunches of grapes—rendered with a juicy, translucent fullness, dotted with golden beads that seem to spill over the surface—contrast sensually with the cold, metallic opulence of the tilted platter, as well as with the dense depth of the dark glass of the decanter and the glasses. Each dense, vibrant stroke, applied to the rustic stone, exalts the pleasure of the senses; it transforms the ripe fruit and wine into a visual celebration of vitality, Bacchic intoxication, and tactile delight.

- Dimensions of the artwork without frame: 60 x 50 cm / 76 x 66 cm with an exclusive, custom-made frame.
