EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Putti playing with the She-Goat Amalthea" transports us to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 18th century, this masterpiece measures 31x38 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The scene depicted here revolves around the nurturing relationship between Amalthea, a goat-tending nymph often associated with motherhood, and Zeus, the infant god. In Greek mythology, it was Amalthea who fostered and cared for Zeus during his early years. Here she is represented both as a goat and as a graceful nymph. The composition showcases several putti or cherubs engaging in playful activities with Amalthea. These mischievous figures add an element of joy and innocence to the artwork. The artist skillfully employs trompe l'oeil techniques to create depth and realism within the painting. With its neoclassical style and delicate brushwork, this piece exemplifies classical themes prevalent during that era. It beautifully captures not only the mythological narrative but also highlights farm animals as part of daily life. Photographed by eRafael Valls Gallery in London, UK, this image from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this extraordinary work of art.
