17th century antique Flemish painting, Faun with fruit basket and Bacchante

Offered by: Parino Mercato Antiquario

Description
Flemish painting from the second half of the 17th century. Oil artwork on canvas depicting a fascinating mythological subject, Faun with fruit basket and Bacchante. Painting attributable to a follower of Peter Paul Rubens as it is a very high quality copy of an original exhibited today in Antwerp. Note the fine workmanship of the fruit basket, an amazing still life full of meticulous naturalistic details. The faun who looks towards us, thus breaking the fourth wall, is splendid. Next to him a girl or bacchante approaches mischievously. A painting of notable pictorial quality, particularly noteworthy is the masterful use of the chiaroscuro technique to create plasticity, volume and depth. Artwork that has undergone restoration with relining, replacement of the frame and restoration of color in some small points. Overall in excellent state of conservation.
