The technique:The Aurea line by Bottega Tifernate stands out for its high-quality artistic works created through the patented technique of pictography, created by master Stefano Lazzari. This method allows the creation of reproductions that maintain all the aesthetic qualities of an authentic painting. Years of dedicated research and study in the field of painting and restoration have enabled the Città di Castello workshop to faithfully restore the methods and recipes that the Renaissance masters applied in their creations on fresco, panel and canvas. For the frescoes, the same type of lime used by Giotto is used, a pure lime, free of salts and alkalis that could damage the work over time. The technique used is the "fresco" one with gold leaf intervention, which allows the colors to blend perfectly with the lime pigment during drying, thus ensuring a long-lasting and harmonious integration. The pigments used are oxide-based, which ensures that the intensity of the color remains unchanged over time.
The work:The angel's face is imposing and seems to blend with the background. The bright light that permeates the colors and lightens the shadows, together with the majesty of the forms, draws inspiration from the works of Piero della Francesca. However, these elements are tempered by a more accentuated sense of naturalness, particularly evident in the portraits, characteristic of the style of the painter from Forlì. The painting comes with a certificate of origin. A metal support that accompanies the casket makes the work suitable as a decorative table element.
