Experience the powerful fusion of classical themes and modern techniques in Antica Roma by Alfonso Pragliola. Born in Giugliano in 1953 and later moving to Naples, Pragliola’s artistic journey is defined by his unique ability to reinterpret historical subjects through a contemporary lens. This captivating painting—created on the reverse side of a raw jute canvas—showcases his mastery in blending oil paints, acrylics, and wax pastels. These materials penetrate the coarse weave of the fabric, giving the work a distinctive and modern character.
The vibrant composition of Antica Roma reveals the figure of a Roman man riding a chariot, a theme that pays homage to classical antiquity while being reimagined through a modern abstract approach. The dynamic interplay of color and texture brings the subject to life, offering a visual experience that feels both innovative and timeless.
The painting is elegantly complemented by a slatted wooden frame, gilded with silver leaf and gently antiqued to provide a warm, rich tone that enhances the work’s overall sophistication. Please note that the dimensions provided refer to the framed artwork. The canvas itself measures 80 × 90 cm, giving it a substantial presence that will make a striking addition to any art collection.
