Ideal City in a Bottle
Date Added: 10 February 2021
For the realization of the "Ideal City" I was inspired by a tempera painting on wood (67.5x239.5 cm) by an unknown artist, datable between 1470 and 1490 and preserved in the National Gallery of the Marche in Urbino (Italy), the work is famous because it marks a particular moment of the technique linked to the study of perspective The object is placed in a 5-liter container and is made in inlay with precious woods: ebony, maple, mahogany, rosewood and emphasizes a valid cabinetmaking as well as a good ability to manufacture, of which the images document the final outcome.
