Description from the seller
Painting "Harlequin Masked" by J. Fievez
Estimated age Late 20th century (dated 1979)
Materials Canvas, oil paint
Style Expressionism / Modernism
Origin Indeterminate, signature suggesting European origin.
Historical significance Although the painter J. Fievez is not historically famous, this work captures the spirit of carnivals, notably Venice's, through the character of the Harlequin. It bears witness to figurative art with a touch of abstraction in the treatment of the background and bright colors, typical of the late 20th century.
The Harlequin is an emblematic character of Italian Commedia dell'arte, traditionally dressed in a colorful diamond-pattern costume.
The mask worn by the character adds a dimension of mystery and duality.
