Description

The dance of the sabers (Bal do Saber) is another of the five canvases commissioned to Giulio Boetto for the museum being built (1936). The scene represented is inspired by the armed dance which was performed in Castelletto Stura, Bagnasco and Fenestrelle in the province of Cuneo. The medieval origin of this type of performance is attested by numerous historical sources and the presence, in a corner of the canvas, of the detail of the Moorish player, refers to the period of the Saracen invasion. The stylistic features of Boetto are once again to be found in the lively color combinations and in the landscape details.
