'Cavaliers Watching Bathing Nymphs', large oil on canvas painting by Fabbretto

Italian, early 20th Century

Height 181cm, width 136cm



Measuring nearly two metres in height, this fantastic large painting will be an excellent addition to a large, grand interior space. It is the work of the Italian painter Angelo Urbani del Fabbretto, active early 20th Century, and depicts a wonderfully rendered, idyllic bathing scene with nymphs, winged putti and mythical, Classical-style sea creatures.



In the foreground, there are two military figures - Cavaliers - shown observing the scene. Above them, two putti are shown pulling back a large tasseled curtain, playfully revealing the idyllic scene both to the viewer and to the observing Cavalier figures. The finely rendered backdrop depicts a picturesque riverscape, with trees, rocks and a clear blue sky.



The decorative painting, full of pastoral charm and Classical elegance, is glazed and housed in a metal frame, and is signed 'FABBRETTO' to the bottom right hand corner.
