Grotesque Scene - Hairy Harry Tiny Amon and Mad Peter, 1598 (oil on canvas)

Grotesque Scene - Hairy Harry, Tiny Amon and Mad Peter (Scena grottesca - Arrigo Peloso, Amon nano e Pietro matto), Agostino Carracci, 1598, 16th Century, oil on canvas, 101 x 133 cm Whole artwork view. Three male figures joke in a bucolic scenery, surrounded by animals - two dogs, two monkeys and a parrot; the whole composition deals with a young man, half-naked, with a brustly face, taken while indicating the cherries he holds in his hands to an older man at his left; the fruits catch the eye of an ape sitting on his shoulder and a parrot perched on a dwarf's arm, who smiles amused; the three protagonists of the painting aren't allegoric figures, but members of the Farnese'scourt National Museum of Capodimonte
