AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The beautiful 44 cm diameter wall plate made of majolica ceramic is a work created and painted by the well-known artist Ruboli of Gualdo Tadino. It is made from clay from the Umbrian region, fired in large wood-fired kilns, and hand-painted by the artist with intricate tones and colors mixed with genuine gold, also used by the artisans of nearby Deruta, who however employ other similar styles but not as rich in colors and details. ON THE PAINTING is a famous phrase: "un bel morire tutta la vita onora". It is a famous verse drawn from Petrarch's Canzoniere, precisely from Canto XXXV. Its deep meaning is that dying with dignity and courage, especially for an ideal or for love, ends up giving meaning and ennobling the entire existence of the individual!!!! The artist intended to emphasize in his painting the veracity of the attributed meaning.
Seller's Story
I am a private individual who started about a year ago.
First, I am emptying my wardrobe of Brunello Cucinelli clothing, my fellow townsman and acquaintance!
Then I continued with shopping mainly for watches and clothing-accessories, reselling some items that, although nice, I didn't see myself wearing very well.
This activity involved me greatly, and I am continuing on this path, feeling very good with this beautiful PLATFORM!!!!
