Wood panel and plaster, painted, gilt and lacquered

Approximate size: 118.5 x 82.5 x 5 cm

The present panel is probably of late 18th century origin, inspired by the vogue for antiquity during the neo-classical era. The lacquered cream-toned painted ground contrasts gracefully against the elaborate heightened and gilded plaster low-relief vegetable motifs and central amphora-inspired urn.

Patterns like the present composition were celebrated throughout Europe, popularized by designs like those invented and published by Michael Angelo Pergolesi during the last quarter of the 18th century.
