Description from the seller
Peter Paul Rubens, also known in Italy as Pietro Paolo Rubens (Siegen, June 28, 1577 – Antwerp, May 30, 1640), in the field of
The two satyrs
Majestic oil painting on canvas from the second half of the 18th century Flemish - certified artwork with expertise report and technical sheet.
Frame size: 83 x 67.5 cm in a contemporaneous gilded frame.
The Two Satyrs
Field: Flemish painting
Attribution: Circle of Peter Paul Rubens
Eros: Second half of the 18th century (ca. 1760-1780)
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 73.5 cm × 58 cm (canvas)
Subject: Two satyrs in a Bacchic scene
Description
The painting depicts two semi-nude male figures related to satyr iconography, captured in a Bacchic context. The satyr in the foreground holds a bunch of grapes, a symbol of Dionysian worship, while the second figure emerges behind him, partially in shadow. The composition is dominated by intense chiaroscuro and a vigorous rendering of the flesh tones.
Stylistic analysis and attribution
The work shows clear references to the painting tradition of Peter Paul Rubens, particularly in the bodily construction of the figures, the sensuality of the flesh tones, and the Bacchic subject. For chronological and stylistic reasons, the painting cannot be directly attributed to the Flemish master but should be placed within his 18th-century popularity, created by a painter active in the second half of the 18th century.
