AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stefano Trapanese is a leading artist in the province of Salerno (Italy) and is consistently ranked in the top 10 of the masters of national profile (source: PitturiAmo.com).
The subject
The mythological subject develops a Neoplatonic theme. Based on philosophical thought, supported by some writings of Marsilio Ficino, the scene could be considered as the Allegory of Reason, symbolized by the goddess who triumphs over instinctuality, depicted by the centaur, a mythological creature half man and half beast. According to Ficino himself, 'Our beast, that is, senses; our man, that is, reason,' which explains its dual nature: in the lower half, equine, representing the instinctiveness of the beast, and in the upper, human, the faculty of reasoning, tamed by Minerva-Reason. Other symbolic interpretations have spoken of the contrast between Chastity and Lust, Humility and Pride, Reason and Instinct.
The frame features a light black border in a minimalist style. The border is 2cm wide on each side (see photo).

According to philosophical thought, supported by some writings of Marsilio Ficino, the scene could be considered as the Allegory of Reason, of which the goddess who wins over instinctuality is a symbol, represented by the centaur, a mythological creature half man and half beast. According to Ficino himself, 'Bestia nostra, id est sensus; homo noster, id est ratio,' which explains its dual nature: in the lower equine half, the instinctiveness of the beast; and in the upper human half, the faculty of reasoning, tamed by Minerva-Reason.

The painting features a lightweight, minimalist black frame. The frame is 2 cm wide on each side (see photo).
