A luxuriant forest is the romantic and lyrical landscape where the dance of the nude nymphs takes place in this joyful 19th Century antique oil on canvas painting scene. Dance of the Nymphs and Naiads is a mythological subject already much loved in the Renaissance period as an allegory of rebirth - as in one of the most famous paintings in the world the Spring by Sandro Botticelli- then reproduced throughout the neoclassicism by academic painters -due to the renewed interest in classical artworks following the discovery of archaeological sites- and taken up later, with ecological purposes and meanings, also by the Barbizon school and Impressionist artists. The present artwork – signed Vagner low left and datable to the second half of the 19th century - is closely inspired by an important work by the great Camille Corot, which is now housed at the Musée d'Orsay (Paris). This historical oil on canvas painting, featuring a joyful scene with the three graces and other dancing nymphs some of them adorning the statue of Bacchus with flower garlands, perfectly combines a realistic depiction of the natural world with a spirited romanticism. The nymph figures frolic playfully beneath a crisp morning sky, this is an highly decorative and lovely composition executed with a level of skill and artistry by a talented painter who captures the poetic atmosphere through a traditional and "tight" painting technique - with minute exactness, clear outlines, thin brush work, but with absolute definition of objects throughout. Very good overall condition, original canvas, stable surface, bright and saturated colors, housed in a lovely molded giltwood frame. The frame features some tiny scratches low right which can be restored on request. Measures: H. 58, L.78, P.4 cm This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation this artwork requires a governative license for export called Belle Arti. The shipping may require additional 6-8 handling weeks to require and get the license according to the final destination of the artwork. The gallery can handle the procedure.
