Bernardino Cesari

Tritons and Satyrs Abducting Nymphs

Oil on panel. 76 x 62 cm.

Professor Herwarth Röttgen attributes this work to the hand of Bernardino Cesari, the son of Giuseppe Cesari (known as Cavalier d'Arpino). It is based on a composition by his father which is thought to have been painted in the 1630s (oil on panel, 76.8 x 58 cm) now housed in the Gemäldegalerie Alter Meister in Museum Schloss Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel.
