Description from the seller
Important antique painting from early 20th-century Italy by
Giuseppe ROSSI (1876-1952)
Still life with violin
The painting depicts a still life with elements that evoke arts and culture, suggesting themes related to music, theater, and knowledge. The visible elements include:
A violin: a musical instrument that symbolizes the art of music.
A theatrical mask: it could symbolize comedy or tragedy, evoking the world of theater and performance.
A classical bust or a sculpted head: it could be a reference to sculptural art, philosophy, or classical knowledge.
An open book: a symbol of learning, literature, or wisdom.
A vase with flowers: a typical element of still life, which can represent the beauty or the fleeting nature of life.
The painting seems to combine symbolic elements to create an allegory of the arts and knowledge, or a reflection on their importance and their impact on human life.
Measurements: 77 x 67 cm in frame
Screen: 61 x 50 cm
