A wall of the playroom in a suburban villa of Athens is covered with a painting executed by acrylic on canvas,
using a restricted range of colors, in order to have a monochromatic effect.
The neoclassical style house of the owners is seen from a terrace, surrounded by an imaginary garden “all’Italiana”
with some details inspired by the Giardino di Boboli in Florence.
Being a playroom it was a specific request of the patrons to “soften” the description
of their superb villa giving to the painting a funny value.
This is attempted by showing the painter that portrays the flute player in such a way…
The size of the painting is 6,00 x 3,00 m - 19,68 x 9,84 ft,
Onto the two lateral steles are hung some
paintings showing architectural
details of the
house.
