Pair of mythological scenes "The Procession of Bacchus" - Circle of Domenico Piola (1627-1703)
Domenico Piola was an Italian Baroque painter of the Genoese school, also a printer and draftsman, who ran a family workshop that remained prolific for three generations.

Pair of oil on canvas from the second half of the 17th century.

The frames are Baroque, late 17th century, very early 18th century.

The first scene depicts a procession of elves and satyrs, accompanied by a goat and a leopard, against the backdrop of the Gulf of Genoa.
In the second scene, Silenus is lying on a leopard skin, his belly full, crowned with laurels, which gives him a prestigious status, as he is part of the circle of the god Dionysus, whose tutor he was. An angel brings him a basket of grapes above his crowned head, symbolizing wine and intoxication. A leopard is at his feet, staring fixedly at the angel against a backdrop of the Ligurian mountains.

Condition: Very good condition (re-lined)
