About the piece

This masterful oil painting by Abraham Janssens I brings together Ceres, Bacchus, and Venus in a classical allegory of abundance and the senses. Typical of the 17th-century Flemish school, the work features dynamic figures, a vibrant palette, and meticulous attention to textural details, from the translucency of the wine to the rugged surfaces of the harvested vegetables.
