PROVENANCE

fun fact: 


digital description: 


wall description: 
The Dance represents a stylistic fusion of classicism and scientific naturalism that dominated landscape art at the end of the 18th century. The circle of nudes dancing to a satyr’s music, ancient ruins, and sacrificial alter evoke a classical idyll, while the surrounding landscape, particularly the tree and foreground burdocks, are rendered with botanical precision.
