Bacchanal (1890) by the
Croation painter Mato Celestin Medović (1857-1893). A well done
painting about roman decadence. This subject was very popular in the
late 19th century.
When there is Roman or Greek marble there will always be that Alma Tadema flavour. But here's a lot more action. Alma Tadema like it more quiet (mostly).
There is an Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema flavour about the painting, don't you think?

ReplyDeleteIn historical paintings, the main form and goal of the artist in image depiction is the recording and recollecting past history.
