Posh Loves All Things Florentine... We Want To Live In A Burnished Golden World, Surrounded By Beautiful Objects...
The Fact That This Is An Actual Painting, And Not A Print, Really Knocks Us Out...
The Scene Is A Landscape With A Classical Ruin... We Think A Roman Ruin... The Little Gentleman In The Painting Is Dressed In Clothing From The 18th Century... He's Got A Cape, A Tricorner Hat, And A Walking Stick... The Scale Of The Painting Is Wonderful, Because It Shows How Tiny The Figure Is In Relation To The Ruins... There Are Crumbled Columns In The Foreground, And A Carved Stone Face At The Base Of A Pillar... Vines And Creepers Are Taking Over... A Hazy Blue Sky Filled With Clouds... A Hill With Another Pair Of Columns In The Distance...
The Painting Is Done Directly Onto The Wood... The Frame Is Carved And Gilded ... We Love The Curved Shape Of The Top... Really Unusual, We've Never Seen Another Piece Like This One... His Has Some Slight Vintage Wear... A Few Areas With Some Minor Chipping... We Don't Mind One Bit, It Only Adds To The Vintage Patina And Mood... The Whole Effect Is So Soft And Pretty...
