RICCI, Sebastiano (b. 1659, Belluno, d. 1734, Venezia) |
Bacchanal in Honour of Panc. 1716Oil on canvas, 84 x 100 cm Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice | ||
This is an elegant painting of almost neoclassical taste that transforms the savage scene of the bacchanal into gracious cameos, as can be seen in the bleeding lamb's head held up by a charming ribbon by the putto on the right.
