Three dancing nymphs and a reclining cupid in a landscape 1767 - 1777

Antonio Zucchi's "Three Dancing Nymphs and a Reclining Cupid in a Landscape" (1767-1777) depicts a scene of idyllic joy and beauty, characteristic of Rococo style art. Three nymphs dance gracefully in a verdant landscape while Cupid, the Roman god of love, reclines in repose, playing a flute. The circular format of the painting, a popular choice for decorative works during the 18th century, adds to the harmonious and balanced composition, creating a delightful and whimsical scene. The work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
