Original artwork description:

This original oil painting on canvas, "Inspiré d'un mascaron de Mercure (Strasbourg, France)," draws inspiration from the expressive mascarons found in architecture throughout France. These sculpted ornaments, often depicting deities, were originally intended to ward off malevolent spirits while declaring the character of the home.

The artist's choice of a green background and violet shadows creates a striking interplay of light and shadow, accentuating the masculine features and bringing depth to the subject. The unique painting is a testament to the artist's mastery of color and form.

This medium-sized artwork is ready to hang, with painted edges eliminating the need for a frame. Signed on the front and dated on the back, it also comes with a certificate of authenticity. Its captivating presence will be a conversation starter in any living room, study, or entryway.

Invite the spirit of classical mythology into your home. Add this unique painting to your art collection today!
