EDITORS COMMENTS
"Pamphilus and his Servant Davus, 1802: A Scene from Terence's The Andria by Nicolai Abraham Abildgaard This stunning oil painting by Danish artist Nicolai Abraham Abildgaard, created in 1802, depicts a scene from Terence's ancient Roman comedy, The Andria. The painting captures the moment when the lover Pamphilus, played by the figure in the foreground, engages in a conversation with his sly servant Davus, portrayed by the figure in the background. The setting is a picturesque countryside scene, with a grand architectural feature in the background. The building's portico, adorned with columns and a stairway, exudes a sense of neoclassical elegance and grandeur. The use of color and light adds depth and texture to the painting, making the scene come alive. Pamphilus, dressed in the attire of a well-to-do Roman gentleman, stands with a serious expression, deep in thought. His servant Davus, a typical comic character of ancient Roman drama, is shown in a more humble attire, with a mischievous grin on his face, suggesting that he is up to no good. The presence of a dog at Davus' feet adds to the playful and lighthearted atmosphere of the scene. Abildgaard's masterful use of brushstrokes and attention to detail bring the characters and their surroundings to life, transporting the viewer to the ancient Roman world. The painting is a testament to Abildgaard's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of a classic comedy scene." This painting is part of the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst (The National Gallery of Denmark) in Copenhagen. It is an excellent example of neoclassical art and a valuable heritage piece that showcases the rich cultural history of Denmark and Rome.
