Antique Empire Style Mirror Walnut Italy XX Century - Italy, XX Century

Oil on canvas. Roman school of the 17th century. In classical mythology, the goddess Venus, wife of Vulcan, had him forge weapons for her son Aeneas. In the scene, set in the cave where the forge is located, Vulcan is in fact forging a suit of armor on the anvil, with the help of his assistants, while Venus, accompanied by the faithful Cupid, arrives to check the work. Thetis, the sea nymph mother of Achilles, also commissioned the weapons for her son to the same god Vulcan, to protect him during the Trojan War. Restored and relined, the painting has a loss of color at the top right. It is presented in an early 1900s frame, contemporary to the restoration.

Mixed media on canvas. Signature, title and date of the work on the back. After an initial period in figurative style, the Milanese painter Mario Arlati soon finds a new dimension, which will become characteristic of all his work. In Ibiza, in fact, where he has often lived since the 1970s, he discovers and makes his own the informal material of the Spanish school which, fused with the wild dimension of the island, gives life to works of great consistency in which the artist literally moves the material: lacerations, scratches, stratifications, colors, but also energy, gesture, emotions, poetry. Arlati';s material is a representation of his intimate soul, made of feelings, emotions and evocations of the landscape. The work is mounted in a plexiglass case.
