The artwork titled “The Marriage of Meleager and Atalantada Carav” was created by Giovanni Battista Piranesi and belongs to the Neoclassicism art movement. It is a mythological painting that draws upon themes and figures from classical mythology.
In the artwork, three primary figures are depicted. A woman on the left, seated and holding an infant, looks towards another woman seated to her right who appears to be gently reaching out towards the child. The drapery and garments are carefully detailed, illustrating folds and textures that enhance the realism. A bearded man is seen in the lower left corner, his gaze seemingly directed downwards or in contemplation. In the background, architectural elements and a window through which light enters add depth to the scene. The overall composition embodies the precision and grandeur characteristic of Neoclassical art, with a focus on idealized forms and harmonious arrangement.
