The Lily of Florence, or Florentine lily, is the stylized, creative, and ideal representation of a “giaggiolo” – the local name for the iris flower. Full of vital energy, it is a symbol of purity, fertility, and rebirth.
Autentiqua’s iconographic interpretation of the city symbol stems from an emotion strongly linked to the Florentine identity of the workshop.
Autentiqua’s painted Lilies are the result of in-depth philological research. Each variant of the core subject is carried out with rigorous technique and informed creativity, resulting each time in a unique and original piece.
Made of gestural brushstrokes, with highlights and shadows that enhance its contours and symbolic value, the elegant symmetrical shape of this sober monochromatic Lily is precise and rigorous, yet airy and dreamy. The overall result is a harmony of multiple balances.
Each piece is hand-made with ancient traditional lean tempera techniques, with plaster, clay, pigments, and vegetable glues on natural canvas. The final stages of aging and patina give the work a timeless charm.
The textured finish of the surface is made up of cracks, frayings, chippings, patinas, and layerings that remind us of ancient frescoed walls.
