I am very pleased to write to you and participate again in an edition of CCC`s Street Art Contest that @digi-me organizes every week.

CCC`s Street Art Contest Round 124

This week I present a mural that surely all fans of classical painting will know. It is a mural that refers to a part of the painting by Velázquez called "Triumph of Bacchus" which is exhibited in the Prado Museum.

However, this mural is exposed in Fuertes Acevedo street 111 in the city of Oviedo and is a work of the Italian muralist Andrea Ravo Mattoni that was painted in 2018 during the celebration of the conceptual muralism festival city of Oviedo.

PAREES Festival

As you can see, the mural is an almost identical representation of the central scene of Velázquez's painting, with the complexity that has the realization of this great mural of more than 20 meters high.

I remember that this mural was painted in approximately 2 weeks, since the restaurant where I usually eat when I have to go to work at the office is 50 meters away from this mural and if you are interested in seeing the process of its elaboration I share a video with you in the following link.

As for the author of the mural was the Italian muralist Andrea Ravo Mattoni, who in many of his works aims to democratize the art that is in museums taking to the street in the form of mural, as happened a few years ago this work of Velázquez that we can now see in the form of a mural in the city where I live.
