Description
In this work, the six heroes stand out for the richness of the decorations of the armor and robes, with crests and hats sumptuously elaborated. They are, from the left, Lucius Sicinius Dentatus, Leonidas, Horace Cocles, Publius Scipio, Pericles and Cincinnatus. The two lunettes of the Sages and the Heroes mark a peak in the painter's classicism, achieved through soft modeling, a bright and rich palette.
Information
The work is created through the technique of Pictography, according to the ancient methods and natural materials; is handmade entirely in Umbria.
