Painting Description
"The Tooth Extractor" is a celebrated painting by the Venetian artist Pietro Longhi, created in the mid-18th century, specifically in 1746. This work is renowned for its detailed depiction of an itinerant tooth extractor performing in a domestic setting, surrounded by an audience of varied expressions and social standings. Longhi, known for his genre paintings that capture the everyday life of Venetian society, offers a glimpse into the medical practices of the time, as well as the social interactions and entertainment forms prevalent among the 18th-century Venetian middle class.
The painting is characterized by its fine attention to detail, the vivid portrayal of the characters, and the subtle humor underlying the scene. Longhi's skill in capturing the nuances of facial expressions and the intricacies of the period's fashion contributes to the narrative depth of the piece. "The Tooth Extractor" stands out not only as a significant work of art but also as a valuable historical document, providing insights into the beliefs, medical practices, and social dynamics of the 18th century.
Housed in the collection of the Museo del Settecento Veneziano at Ca' Rezzonico in Venice, this artwork remains a key example of Longhi's contribution to the Rococo movement and his mastery in depicting the Venetian bourgeoisie. Through "The Tooth Extractor," Longhi invites viewers to reflect on the themes of credulity, pain, and amusement, making it a compelling study of human nature and societal norms of his time.
