Painting by Mattia Traverso “Pastoral Scene”
This early 20th-century painting by Mattia Traverso evokes Rococo tapestries, depicting a garden scene around a fountain. The scene represents a moment in the life of the aristocracy, featuring an elegant couple, a valet, and his dog in a park.
A trompe-l’œil painted border imitates a richly sculpted frame of flowers and shells.
Mattia Traverso, born in Genoa in 1885 and died in 1956, was a highly talented Italian painter renowned for his exceptional technical mastery and his taste for classical scenes of grand decoration, which allowed him to revive the splendor of past centuries with a modern elegance.
