Dutch genre painting of the 18th century. Feast of Dionysus. Attributed to Horemans Jan Joseff 1682-1759. An ancient painting demonstrates the meeting of the procession of Bacchus, a cheerful company gathered in the boudoir of the living room, around a table of drinks and music. The darkened olive-ocher color, with the thin spaces of the table and clothes, the contours of the interior volumes, preserves the memory of the irretrievably gone fun of the people of the 18th century. Cheerful carelessness and epicureanism, which are so sweetly opposed to the non-existence of the acutely experienced baroque. Canvas, oil. After strengthening and restoration. From the collection of Pavel Viktorovich Delarov 1851-1913. Canvas dimensions: 68x83 cm.
