Description : La sorgente

Oil painting on canvas. It is a 20th century copy of the famous work by the master of Neoclassicism Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780 -1867), created between 1820 and 1856, and currently kept in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The work, which depicts one of the subjects most loved by Ingres, who often painted figures of young women dressed as odalisques and poses as Venuses, sees a young naked woman standing inside a rock structure that houses her. A jug rests downwards on her left shoulder, and from its opening a stream of water is born which pours down, flowing into the mirror of water which reflects the image of the woman. At the young woman's feet, two flowers appear, to the right and to the left, while a branch of ivy clings to her figure on the rock. Faithful in the compositional structure to the original work, this painting is also made with a decidedly twentieth-century pictorial style, due to the broad brushstrokes, the poorly defined contours, the earthy colors that give an almost monochrome impression. The work is presented in a coeval gilded frame.
