Old oil painting on canvas representing the symposium of the Gods.

This important 17th century painting refers to the exquisite production of the French school, in the style of Poussin.
Wooden frame, gilded in Mecca, contemporary with the painting.
Nicolas Poussin, known in Italy - especially among his contemporaries - also as Niccolò Pussino was a French painter.
(Les Andelys, June 15, 1594 - Rome, November 19, 1665),
Thoroughly classical in his work, clarity, logic and order are the predominant characteristics of his work.

The scene unfolds in a pyramidal fashion starting from allegorical scenes at the base and ending at the cusp with a large figure.

The splendid craftsmanship and refined colors, obviously of the highest standard, in fact suggest attribution to a very talented artist working in France in the second half of the 17th century.
