Inspiré du mascaron de la fontaine de la Croix du Trahoir (Paris, France) Painting

This painting is inspired by a mascaron of the fountain of La Croix du Trahoir located in Paris (France). Carved ornaments of windows, doors, arcades, fountains or bridges, mascarons are frightening masks that chase the spirit of evil or depictions of deities, elements, seasons displaying the attributes and temperament of a home. Coming from Italy, they arrive in France in the sixteenth century, and there are many in Paris, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Nantes ... I found interesting to reinterpret by painting these forgotten jewels of the Renaissance and show that they can have their place in our modern life. It is certainly a dog's head. The subject is rather aggressive, I chose to use soft colors and soothing, on a green of gray background. This gives him an ironic touch. This is a unique !  The side of the painting are painted, framing is not required. The artwork is signed on the front and provided with a certificate of authenticity.
