Venetian school (second half of the XVIII) - Interior with a banquet scene

Venetian school (second half of the XVIII) - Interior with a banquet scene. 58 x 72 cm (without frame) - 72.5 x 86.5 cm (with frame). Oil on canvas, in a gilded wooden frame. The painting depicts a convivial moment in a domestic interior: around a table laid with fruit and sweets sit two ladies and a gentleman in a red coat, while on the left a servant pours wine into the glass of the young woman in a light blue bodice. The scene is closed on the right by a curtain and a plate rack with dishes arranged on a blue cloth, while a leaded glass window lights the back wall. In the foreground, a small dog enlivens the composition. The work belongs to the Venetian genre painting tradition which, following Pietro Longhi, recorded eighteenth-century daily life with a narrative and affable tone. Noteworthy are the lively palette, based on the reds, blues and ochres of the garments, and the descriptive attention paid to costumes and everyday objects. Condition report: Relined canvas.
