"Ancient Rome" is a striking contemporary painting by Alfonso Pragliola that reinterprets classical themes through a vibrant and expressive modern language. Created using mixed media on raw jute canvas, the artwork combines oil paint, acrylic, and wax pastels, allowing the pigments to penetrate the coarse textile surface and produce richly textured layers. Within the dynamic composition emerges the suggestion of a Roman figure riding a chariot, a motif inspired by classical antiquity yet translated into an abstract contemporary vision. Fragmented forms, energetic lines, and warm tonal variations generate movement and depth, creating a powerful dialogue between history and modern artistic expression. This contemporary abstract painting stands as an original artwork with strong decorative impact, ideal for contemporary interiors and collectors of Italian contemporary art and modern collectible paintings with textured surfaces.
