JEAN BOULANGER (1606–1660), attributed Fresco in the Galleria di Bacco, measuring 2.60 x 6 meters A very large fresco, a mural mounted on three frames, closely resembling the frescoes from the sumptuous decorative cycle in the Galleria di Bacco (Gallery of Bacchus) located in the Palazzo Ducale in Sassuolo, in Emilia-Romagna (Italy). Created between 1650 and 1652, this ensemble of frescoes and tempera paintings is considered the artist’s absolute masterpiece. The fresco is part of a vast program narrating the life, triumphs, and myths associated with Bacchus (Dionysus). The scene depicts a mythological procession related to Bacchus’s travels, featuring a peasant guiding a pair of oxen pulling a rustic cart. The trompe l’œil technique remains faithful to the great tradition of Italian Baroque, with a composition set within a superb illusionistic border of faux stucco and architectural volutes (quadratura) framing the scene in the manner of a hanging painting. Restored. Dimensions: 260 x 600 cm Provenance: Collection of Guido Sermenghi (1924–2011), then passed down through the family, Menton.
