MEANING

The Florentine Lily is the stylized representation of an iris in full bloom. It is a symbol of purity, fertility, rebirth, and vital energy.

Autentiqua’s pictorial interpretation of the city arms stems from a highly emotional link with the local identity and a sense of belonging to the city of Florence.

 

INSPIRATION

Autentiqua’s painted Lilies are the result of in-depth philological research. Each piece is handcrafted with the utmost attention to detail, resulting in an exclusive and original work.

 

PROCESS

The symmetrical shape of the painted Lily is precise and rigorous, yet light and dreamy at the same time. It is made of gestural brushstrokes, with highlights and shadows that enhance its contours and symbolic value. The overall effect is a symphony of multiple balances.

Each piece is hand-made with ancient traditional lean tempera techniques, with plaster, clay, pigments, and vegetable glues on natural canvas. The textured finish of the surface is made up of cracks, frayings, chippings, patinas, and layerings that remind us of ancient frescoed walls.
