Bottega di Filippo Lauri (Roma,1623–1694)

"Bacchanal with offerings to the statue of Pan" Workshop of Filippo Lauri (Rome, 1623–1694) Oil on canvas Late 17th century Canvas cm. 67 x 47 frame cm. 80 x 62 Excellent condition The painting has been cleaned and relined. The work depicts a Bacchanal of great involvement, made even more dynamic by the dance of the two central figures, a Satyr raising a glass of wine and a splendid nymph shaking cymbals. Other fauns, now drunk, drink directly from the large flasks of wine, lying on the grass and surrounded by putti. A large statue depicting the God Pan is honored with rich garlands of flowers and fruit. The scene is characterized by the remarkable three-dimensionality of the nude bodies of the protagonists that stand out full of light in the undergrowth. The painting expresses an atmosphere of great joy, almost a hymn to carefree life, dedicated to joy and celebrations, drowned in unbridled libations. The author can be placed among the collaborators of the Roman Master Filippo Lauri (Rome, August 25, 1623 – December 12, 1694), and proves to be extremely skilled both in the drafting of the naturalistic environment and in the rendering of the various male and female figures. The beauty of this Bacchanal, probably the best-known realization among Lauri's mythological subjects, achieved extraordinary success among the aristocracy of the capital, so much so that it was replicated in large numbers by his workshop to satisfy the continuous demand for similar works. Ours, also of beautiful size, is certainly of excellent workmanship and comes with a beautiful chromatic range, bright and enriched by excellent chiaroscuro effects that offer the scene a truly exceptional sense of volume.
