This monochromatic painting on canvas in landscape format with agreeable 2:3 proportions is a unique and original creation, crafted with distressed and aged materials.

MEANING

The airy and spring-like subject makes this painting suitable to hang in a space interconnected with the Nature and the outdoors, such as a porch or a conservatory, as well as in cottages, chalets, villas, farmhouses and country homes in general. The little bird also makes it particularly suitable for music rooms, while the butterflies would fit feminine spaces such as study rooms or fashion houses.

 

INSPIRATION

The composition is inspired by recurring elements in the frescoes of important Renaissance buildings in central Italy, and in particular in Tuscany.

 

PROCESS

Just like it happened in bygone times, today Autentiqua’s work is still carried out with great attention to detail, to produce a unique and original piece that comes to life only after careful philological research.
