Original artwork description:

This original oil painting on canvas is inspired by a mascaron of Hercules found in Strasbourg, France. Mascarons, carved ornaments often depicting frightening masks, were historically used on architectural features to ward off evil spirits. These gems from the Renaissance, originally from Italy, became popular in France in the 16th century. This modern artwork brings this tradition into our contemporary lives.

The artist has focused on well-defined contours to enhance the sense of depth and relief. Soft, light blue and ochre colors create a gentle and inviting feel. The artwork subject is classical mythology.

This unique, medium-sized painting is ready to hang, with painted edges that eliminate the need for a frame. It's signed on the front, and dated and named on the back. The artwork also comes with a certificate of authenticity.
