About the piece

Painted around 1830 by Giuseppe Bezzuoli, this lively oil painting captures the playful energy of two putti interacting with a dolphin. The rich contrasts of the golden and crimson drapery against the deep blue sea and sky create a dramatic, theatrical composition characteristic of Italian Romanticism.
