This exquisite framed drawing by the renowned artist brothers Alessio & Marcello Bugagiar, affectionately known as The Twins, is a unique study for their large commissioned painting titled "Danzitrice For The Three Graces." The piece depicts a detailed view of the female dancer featured in the final painting.
The "Danzitrice" (Italian for dancer) drawing is a modern interpretation deeply inspired by the form and style of classical antiquity, referencing the mythological goddesses Euphrosyne, Aglaia, and Thalia—symbols of charm, elegance, and beauty. The artists expertly blend their classical European training with a contemporary aesthetic.
About the Artists:
Originally from Florence, Italy, The Twins bring a unique juxtaposition of classic and contemporary art to their works. Alessio, the technician, studied at the prestigious Accademia of Belle Arti (which once boasted Michelangelo as its director) and has extensive experience in art restoration, which influences his choice of materials. Marcello, l’artigiano (the craftsman), provides the visionary creativity, composition skills, and expertise in gilding and varnishing. Their innovative technique often involves painting on intonaco (plaster) or Hawaiian koa wood, replicating the texture of 13th-century Italian masters.
The artwork is elegantly presented in a wide-bordered copper-gold frame that beautifully complements the salmon tone of the drawing. This item falls under the categories of Fine Art and Works on Paper.
