Oil on cardboard. Signed lower right. The Cremonese artist Antonio Rizzi includes in his production several works that have the mythological nymphs as their subject.

The work proposed here instead depicts the Nymphs of the woods, girls riding naked on the backs of donkeys, coming out of the woods in a festive and playful procession. The work is influenced by the Liberty style, which Rizzi knew above all in his Roman period. The work is presented in a frame.

He also worked in Vienna, Berlin, Barcelona, Caracas. Rizzi arrived in Rome in his early thirties, around 1913, participating in the liberty climate of the Roman Biennials. Here he was commissioned the four large mosaic lunettes of the propylaea of the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, the Altare della Patria just built by the Piedmontese Giuseppe Sacconi with the famous Botticino marble. The executive sketches of the four lunettes, simplified and symbolic, representing Peace, Law, Union and Value, are kept in the Civic Museum of Cremona. Rizzi died in Florence in 1940.n

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
