BAMBOCHADE Painting on canvas
59 x 71 cm (at sight)
This representation of small characters entertaining themselves in a fairground set in a landscape of ruins recalls the 17th century taste for bambochades. These genre paintings, which were fashionable in Rome in the second quarter of the 17th century by the Dutch painter Pieter van Laer (1599-1642), nicknamed il Bamboccio, were a great success. Mixing ancient and everyday
Rome, these popular scenes were also depicted by many painters, Italians like Michelangelo Cerquozzi (1602-1660), French like Sébastien Bourdon (1616-1671) or Dutch like Jan
Miel (1599-1663).
