MEANING

This painting harks back to the exuberant repertoire of Renaissance wall paintings in the Grotesque style to evoke the atmosphere of a time and place which radiated a special atmosphere – a melody made of beauty, with the magic of imperfection.

 

INSPIRATION

Autentiqua’s paintings are the result of in-depth philological research. Each piece is an original variation on the main theme and is carried out with the utmost attention to the tiniest detail, resulting in a unique and exclusive work that can be displayed as a standalone piece, as a pair, as a pair with light/dark contrast, or as a gallery with any number of the other paintings of the series.

PROCESS

Each piece is hand-made with ancient traditional lean tempera techniques, with plaster, clay, pigments, and vegetable glues on natural canvas. The final steps of aging and patina enrich the painting with the charm and mystery of a timeless piece of original art.

The textured finish of the surface is made up of cracks, frayings, chippings, patinas, and layerings that remind us of ancient frescoed walls.

 

Shipping and customization:

The painted canvas is very sturdy and can be easily rolled up for safe shipping in a small mailing tube.

Upon request, we can frame the painting or mount the canvas on a wooden panel, either with glass, or preferably without glass.

We can also create custom-made paintings on natural canvas to suit your needs, with tailored colors and features.
