Description:
‘In the Roman osteria‘ was commissioned by a good friend and supporter by Carl Bloch, Moritz G. Melchior, a merchant. Bloch finished the painting in 1866.
Moritz is seen in the background of this painting, talking to one of his friends. One of the guests seated at the table with him is the painter himself, with his back to the viewer.
The primary characters in the painting, include village folk of the Danish countryside. Of the three seated at one table, the two women appear to engage with the viewer agreeably. The male patron seated at that table appears to glare at the viewer rather irritably.
It is said that knives and forks are brandished freely. The cat, clothes, the osteria is depicted in striking realism, as is a common feature among Bloch’s paintings in this genre.
Bloch was well known and sought out by the clergy and royalty of the time for religious and somber paintings. However, he is today well known for his paintings depicting the common folk in amusing scenes such as the one in this painting.
There are 2 other well-known interpretations of the Osteria scene, one by the master’s teacher Wilhelm Marstrand.
This painting, the Italian Osteria Scene from 1848 (Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek), also contains two girls inviting the viewer into the Osteria with one holding up a glass of wine.
The other interpretation is that of a painting of Italian Osteria by Polish-Danish painter, Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann. There are apparently three known variations of that painting.
This painting was one of the popular genres at the time, that depicted rural life. The painting was unframed and was purchased by the museum.
