The game of the dining room 1823

Saverio della Gatta's "The game of the dining room" (1823) depicts a lively scene of a traditional Italian game. The artwork features a group of people gathered in a square, watching as a man carries another on his shoulders while holding a rope attached to an overturned boat suspended in the air. The artist captures the excitement and joy of the event with vibrant colors and detailed figures. The scene suggests a rural setting, with houses and trees in the background. This light-hearted genre painting illustrates a moment of community celebration and provides a glimpse into the daily lives of Italians in the early 19th century.
