The Florentine Lily is the stylized representation of an iris in full bloom. Full of vital energy, it is a symbol of purity, fertility and procreation, birth and rebirth.
Suitable for any room, this sober monochromatic version of the Florentine Lily conveys the sense of pride and the emotion of belonging to the City of Florence.
The infinite variations of Autentiqua’s painted Lilies – all unique and original works – are the result of in-depth philological research. Each piece is handcrafted with the utmost attention to detail, with unique features to make it an exclusive creation.
The symmetrical shape of the painted Lily is precise and rigorous, yet light and dreamy at the same time. It is made of gestural brush strokes, with highlights and shadows that enhance its contours and symbolic value. The overall effect is a symphony of multiple balances.
Autentiqua’s paintings are made with ancient traditional lean tempera techniques, with plaster, clay, pigments, and vegetable glues. The final steps of aging and distressing enrich the painting with the charm and mystery of a precious, timeless work.
