Lot no. 50
Michele Rocca (attributed to) - Bacchanal with putti - oil on canvas 76 x 145 cm
The canvas presented here captures an iconic time of the Parma painter, produced in various versions: an allegory of the grape harvest, with a young Bacchus in the centre, surrounded by putti caught in a playful, childlike attitude. The work is halfway between his more properly Baroque production, where the influence of Sebastiano Conca and Carlo Maratta predominated, and his more graceful and delicately descriptive work, often associated with mythological themes, which was to serve as a prelude to his properly Rococo production.Within 20th-century wooden frame.
