Description : Scena bacchica
Oil on canvas. Northern European School. The painting in calm tones proposes to the viewer, personified by the figure of the man at the bottom right who observes climbing a tree branch, a scene of orgiastic entertainment between men and women in a landscape that evokes Eden with free animals and in peace (the peacock, the rabbits ..). Among the others, on the left a child is playing with soap bubbles: the intent to contrast the transience of life with the pleasures of the senses is evident; high up in the clouds, a deity observes the scene, Chronos, the god of time, who with his scythe underlines human mortality. A label on the frame attributes the work to the Flemish Philippe-Augustin Immenraet (1627-1679), due to the proximity of the landscape subject to his style. The work, restored and relined, has a central color drop. It is presented in a stylish frame.
