EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print, titled "Battle between Lapiths and Centaurs" transports viewers to a mythical world of violence and chaos. Painted by Sebastiano Ricci in circa 1710, this masterpiece measures 63x70 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The painting depicts a fierce confrontation between the Lapiths, human-like creatures, and the Centaurs, half-human half-horse beings. The scene unfolds during a lavish banquet where alcoholism seems to have fueled aggression among these mythological characters. Death looms over the chaotic battle as both sides engage in combat with weapons raised high. Ricci's attention to detail is evident through his skillful brushwork that brings life to each character present at the feast. The artist masterfully captures the intensity of the moment while also highlighting elements of Italian culture from the 18th century. The banquet room itself is adorned with intricately carved wooden bas-reliefs depicting scenes from Italian history and mythology. These carvings add depth to the composition and create an immersive experience for viewers. Luisa Ricciarini's photograph perfectly captures this powerful artwork, showcasing its vibrant colors and intricate details. It serves as a testament to Ricci's talent as well as an invitation for art enthusiasts around the world to delve into this mesmerizing depiction of ancient conflict.
