Description
Exquisite vintage painting depicting cute and romantic little cupids (amorini).
This small picture was nicely hand painted by M. Cirillo and titled: I Farmacisti.
The subject was inspired by the antique Roman frescos in one of the most beautiful rooms in Pompei, rediscovered in modern times after laying buried under ashes and soil for centuries.
The frescos in the main room of the Vettii house are superb and denote a forward-looking attitude in matter of style, as they transitioned from the previous Roman style to a new one. The colours are divine and so elegantly vivid, as if those rooms were still inhabited.
This charming little painting would be perfect to display or hang on the wall, adding a colourful fine touch of antique style.
Professionally framed, glazed and matted.
