EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable oil on canvas painting titled "Peasant girls- Sorrento, c. 1870" by Henry Penry Williams. The image captures two young peasant girls in the midst of a joyous celebration, radiating an infectious energy that is impossible to ignore. The girls, dressed in traditional Neapolitan attire, are adorned with vibrant garlands as they dance and play tambourines. Their youthful exuberance is palpable, their smiles lighting up the canvas. It's as if they have been caught mid-step during a lively folk dance at a festive gathering. This artwork serves as a preparatory study for Williams' larger masterpiece titled "Italians at a picnic after the festa". The artist has skillfully captured every detail of these young dancers, using delicate brushstrokes to bring them to life on the canvas. Measuring 27.4x34 cm, this small yet powerful painting now resides in the National Museum Wales collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its portrayal of Italian culture and traditions during the late 19th century. Bridgeman Images has beautifully reproduced this artwork into a stunning print that allows us to appreciate Williams' talent and glimpse into this enchanting moment frozen in time forever.
