An Italian Renaissance style fresco from the 20th century, mounted on a board. We are immediately drawn to this exquisite Renaissance style Italian fresco that has been mounted on a board to make for a perfect decorative panel. A central cartouche, adorned with acanthus leaves, shells and flowers, surrounds a central motif depicting a young maiden. Perhaps are we in the presence of Circe, suggested by the swine to her side (she transformed Odysseus' companions into swines after they landed on the island of Aeaea, her home). The ensemble is flanked with pilasters adorned with rinceaux motifs and shells. With its great presence and nicely worn patina, this Italian Renaissance style 20th century fresco mounted on board will be a great focal point in any home!
