Description from the seller
Painting "Scena Galante" by Carlo Ferranti (1840-1908) - Oil on Canvas - Dating 1870-1880
Sublime oil painting on canvas signed by the Italian master Carlo Ferranti (1840-1908).
The work depicts a classic and romantic "Galante Scene": a gentleman and a lady, elegantly dressed in lavish 18th-century costumes, are portrayed strolling within a lush park in a delicate courtship posture. The canvas perfectly expresses the taste and technical mastery of the author: the scene is characterized by incredible descriptive minuteness, with an extreme care for details. From the gleaming folds of the silks and velvets of the dresses, to the accurate rendering of the surrounding vegetation, every element is painted with a nearly miniature precision and a vivid and brilliant color palette.
Notes on the Author:
Carlo Ferranti (1840 - 1908) was a celebrated Italian painter of the nineteenth century, who became famous and highly sought after by collectors of the era for his genre scenes in a "neo-Rococo" or neo-18th-century taste. His works, often set in sumptuous drawing rooms or idyllic gardens, aimed to revive the elegance, lightheartedness, and romance of the 18th century. His paintings today appear in numerous international private collections, appreciated for their indisputable aesthetic appeal and the very high technical quality.
