A theatrical scene painted with intensity: L'esclave Davus et la servante Mysis de l'Andria de Térence
Nicolai Abildgaard here depicts a dramatic scene where the tight composition and light sculpt the characters with precision. The warm tones of the flesh contrast with dark draperies and touches of deep blue, creating an atmosphere both intimate and tense. The technique combines a clear drawing, heir to neoclassicism, and measured impastos that highlight expressions and theatrical gestures. One perceives the emotional charge of the story: fleeting glances, clenched hands, and gestures that tell the social and emotional tension of the play.
Nicolai Abildgaard, master of dramatic neoclassicism
Nicolai Abildgaard, a Danish figure of the late 18th century, draws his language from neoclassical precepts while infusing a dramatic sense inherited from ancient theater and recent humanist studies. Influenced by Winckelmann and ancient excavations, Abildgaard designed compositions where the expressiveness of bodies serves moral narration. His work, rich in mythological and historical scenes, marked the transition between academic rigor and interest in the psychology of subjects. This art print pays tribute to his narrative art and mastery of chiaroscuro, while preserving the dramaturgical strength of the original canvas.
