Scuola rudolfina (XVII) - Giochi di putti - XL format

Ancient painting from the second half of the 17th century. An oil on canvas depicting an allegorical subject of the Rudolfine school, featuring a playful scene of putti with game, executed with excellent painterly skill. The Rudolfine school, also known as the Prague school, refers to a group of artists working at the court of Rudolf II of Habsburg. Notable are the quality of the flesh tones, the still life, and the masterful use of chiaroscuro to create depth and volume in the subjects. The painting is horizontally oriented, well-sized, and pleasingly decorative. It has undergone conservation restoration, including lining, replacement of the frame, and retouching of the paint in some areas (see photo). The work is part of a pendant pair (see photo and inquire about the price for the pair, if available). Overall, it is in good condition. The painting measures H 63.5 x L 112.5 cm.
