St. Francis preaching to the birds, retouch finish, , 3.5x5 in, Giotto by Bottega Tifernate.
This 3.5x4.7 in reproduction is part of the Linea Aurea collection by Bottega Tifernate and reproduces the celebrated scene "Preaching to the birds" by Giotto. Every work in the Linea Aurea collection is handcrafted and finished by qualified painters with specialised academic training.
The technique
The Linea Aurea collection by Bottega Tifernate is distinguished by high-quality artistic works produced using the patented pictography technique devised by Master Stefano Lazzari. This method creates reproductions that retain all the aesthetic qualities of an original painting. Years of dedicated research in painting and restoration have enabled the Città di Castello workshop to faithfully restore the methods and recipes used by Renaissance masters for fresco, panel and canvas. For the frescoes, the same type of lime used by Giotto is employed: a pure lime, free of salts and alkalis that could damage the work over time. The technique used is "a fresco" with gold leaf intervention, which allows the colours to merge perfectly with the lime pigment during drying, ensuring a durable and harmonious integration. The pigments used are oxide-based, which guarantees that the intensity of the colour remains unchanged over time.
The work
The piece depicts St. Francis addressing the birds within a natural landscape, accompanied by a Franciscan brother. The trees, the luminous sky and the group of birds contribute to a balanced composition expressing the saint's profound bond with creation. The reproduction is supplied with a certificate of provenance and fitted with a hook on the back for wall display.
