Description from the seller
You are always born under the wrong sign, and living in a dignified way means correcting your horoscope day by day.
Umberto Eco
This special Estée Lauder box set from 2000 is a true treasure for art and beauty lovers: it contains a series of 12 unique artistic prints, freely inspired by the zodiac signs, painted by Baldassarre Peruzzi before 1522 for the Loggia of Villa Mattei in Rome, in a limited edition.
Created by engraver Andrea Ricceri, these works were made using the exquisite aquatint technique, which gives them a depth and an unparalleled richness of detail.
The aquatint is an engraving technique that uses acid to create gradated tones on a metal plate.
This technique allows for effects of depth and texture, making it perfect for artistic works that require a balance between light and shadow, highlighting the beauty of chiaroscuro.
Each print has been meticulously created using a star-shaped press in a limited edition, signed and numbered, making each piece a collectible work of art.
Ricceri, known for his collaborations with illustrious museums such as the Vatican Museums, the Uffizi, the Pinacoteca di Brera, and the Metropolitan Museum, brings an artistic heritage in this box that highlights the intertwining of art and culture, enriching the experience of those who possess it.
