SILVER Seller in Napoli, Italia
Experience the powerful fusion of classical themes and modern techniques with Alfonso Pragliola's ‘Ancient Rome’. Born in Giugliano in 1953 and later moving to Naples, Pragliola's artistic journey is marked by his unique ability to reinterpret historical subjects with a contemporary lens. This captivating painting, created on the reverse side of a rough jute canvas, shows his mastery in using oil paints, acrylics and wax crayons to penetrate the raw texture of the fabric, giving the work a distinctive and modern character. The vibrant composition of ‘Ancient Rome’ gives a glimpse of a Roman man on a chariot, a theme that pays homage to classical antiquity and is reimagined through a modern abstract approach. The dynamic use of colours and textures brings the subject to life, creating an innovative and timeless visual experience. The painting is beautifully complemented by a slatted wooden frame, gilded with silver leaf and lightly antiqued to provide a warm, rich tone that enhances the overall elegance of the work. Please note that the dimensions provided refer to the framed work. The canvas itself measures 80x90 cm, providing a substantial presence that will be a striking addition to any art collection.
