AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"VANITAS "
The combination of a skull with a little bird encapsulates powerful and profound symbolism.
While the skull evokes the hardness of material reality and the inevitability of time, the little bird is a fragile, light, dynamic creature. This visual contrast highlights the human duality: we are made of heavy matter destined to fade, but we host a light, free and immortal spark of life.
Original specimen, signed on the front, made with natural pigments and wax, using the egg tempera technique on a wooden panel. A certificate of authenticity is attached.
Rita Bucci, author of this work, studies ancient techniques and styles. She has shows and competitions to her credit; her works are present in private and public collections in Italy and abroad. Specializes in Byzantine iconography and medieval painting.
2nd Prize in Byzantine Art at the Eremi di Gravina, Ed.2023
Costanza d'Altavilla Prize — competition "Parole dal Medioevo e..." edition 2024
