Oil on wood Hungary, 1st half of the 20th century Gyula Éder (1875-1945) – Hungarian painter, cartoonist and draughtsman, especially portraits, sacral and mythological paintings Signed at the lower right ‘Éder Gyula’ Idyllic wood glade with women that are dancing next to a stream being surprised by two mounted men Composition on the left reminds of the mythological legend of Actaeon and Diana Reduced design vocabulary and brush strokes in impressionistic manner Mysterious appearing overall impression Dimensions of panel: 31.9 x 49.4 cm Framed: 42.5 x 59.7 cm Very good condition The Hungarian painter is particularly famous for his mythological images. Parts of this composition thus remind of Actaeon’s legend told by Ovid: while hunting, Actaeon surprises the goddess Diana taking a bath. Thereupon, she transforms him into a stag. The dancing figures on offered paining are however depicted rather blurry. This could also indicate that they are a dream image of the two men, who dream of the young women on the forest clearing. Condition: The painting is in a very good condition with slight signs of age and wear. Under UV-light several smaller touch-ups appear, especially along the edges and in the area of one female figure. The dimensions including the frame measure 42.5 x 59.7 cm, while the dimensions of the panel are 31.9 x 49.4 cm. (nlu) Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
