Ancient Painting Depicting The Pilgrimage To Cythera. France 19th Century.

Ancient painting depicting a moment of leisure of the French aristocracy (Pilgrimage to Cythera) anonymous French schoolmaster of the early 19th century, oil on canvas.

The composition of the scene is occupied by various characters, men, women and girls, captured in a joyful picture of daily life animated by the carefree joie de vivre typical of the frivolous and worldly aristocracy.

Our painting is inspired by the so-called "gallant scenes", a pictorial theme that became so prominent in European pictorial culture already in the early decades of the 18th century to the point of almost having the dignity of a pictorial genre.

It reflects a modus vivendi of the high society of the time, accustomed to the pleasures of life, to the affluence of court well-being, between pastimes, whims and various delights.

The clothes are those of the eighteenth-century tradition even if the painting was made in the early 19th century in an almost nostalgic way.

The canvas is embellished with a beautiful French frame in gilded wood in gold leaf, engraved hammer.
