{"product_id":"gm-00031501-jpg","title":"A Banquet Gm-00031501","description":"Morazzone (Pier Francesco Mazzuchelli) (Italian, 1573–1626) This densely populated drawing offers a fascinating array of figures and attitudes. A monumental woman, her right arm outstretched, dominates the center of the \u003cspan class=\"text-link\" onclick=\"javascript:link(84, 556, event);\"\u003ecomposition\u003c\/span\u003e. Behind her, noblemen and women enjoy a sumptuous feast around a long, rectangular table. At either end of the table, dutiful servants attend to the meal and at the left edge of the drawing, a cluster of servants prepare food and drinks. A servant in the left \u003cspan class=\"text-link\" onclick=\"javascript:link(84, 575, event);\"\u003eforeground\u003c\/span\u003e provides musical entertainment for the banquet. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Morazzone created this large compositional study for an ambitious painting, likely commissioned by Ferdinando Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua. Despite its distinctive cast of characters, the drawing's subject has not been firmly identified. Some scholars suggest that the subject is the marriage feast at Cana, where \u003cspan class=\"text-link\" onclick=\"javascript:link(84, 1717, event);\"\u003eChrist\u003c\/span\u003e turned water into wine, or \u003cspan class=\"text-link\" onclick=\"javascript:link(84, 1587, event);\"\u003eEsther\u003c\/span\u003e before Ahasuerus. But there are no figures that are easily identifiable as either Christ or \u003cspan class=\"text-link\" onclick=\"javascript:link(84, 1617, event);\"\u003eKing Ahasuerus\u003c\/span\u003e. More recently, it has been proposed that the drawing represents a scene from Greek mythology, the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. \u003cbr\u003e\n\r\n\r","brand":"Arte.Net","offers":[{"title":"Note Cards (4.7\" x 6.5\") 12 x 16.5cm Pack of 4","offer_id":56373154447743,"sku":"Gm-00031501 -","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giclee Matte Art Paper (18\" x 24\") 45 x 60cm","offer_id":56373154480511,"sku":"Gm-00031501 -","price":50.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giclee Matte Art Paper (24\" x 36\") 60 x 90cm","offer_id":56373154513279,"sku":"Gm-00031501 -","price":76.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giclee Matte Art Paper (30\" x 40\") 75 x 100cm","offer_id":56373154546047,"sku":"Gm-00031501 -","price":90.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giclee Matte Art Paper (44\" x 60\") 112 x 152cm","offer_id":56373154578815,"sku":"Gm-00031501 -","price":220.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stretched Canvas (16\" x 20\") 40 x 50cm","offer_id":56373154611583,"sku":"Gm-00031501 -","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stretched Canvas (18\" x 24\") 45 x 60cm","offer_id":56373154644351,"sku":"Gm-00031501 -","price":150.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stretched Canvas (28\" x 28\") 70 x 70cm","offer_id":56373154677119,"sku":"Gm-00031501 -","price":200.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stretched Canvas (24\" x 36\") 60 x 90cm","offer_id":56373154709887,"sku":"Gm-00031501 -","price":240.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stretched Canvas (24\" x 48\") 60 x 122cm","offer_id":56373154742655,"sku":"Gm-00031501 -","price":250.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stretched Canvas (32\" x 48\") 80 x 122cm","offer_id":56373154775423,"sku":"Gm-00031501 -","price":340.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/4245\/5423\/files\/Gm-00031501_21b00210-f28a-457e-8e1a-2b29ada8ad9e.jpg?v=1762773023","url":"https:\/\/arte.net\/products\/gm-00031501-jpg","provider":"Arte.Net","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
