Portrait Of A Scottish Monarch Oil On Canvas 19th Century
Located in Milan, IT
Oil on canvas. Intense and high quality, the painting depicts a monarch of the royal house of Scotland.
Around the portrait, in a painted oval frame, there are some writings: the name Rober(t) appears at the top left, the title Rex at the bottom left and the abbreviation Scot, which stands for Scotorum, on the right; the writing at the top right is not identifiable, but it seems to be an acronym.
The man portrayed wears a hat and a coat adorned with ermine fur, which is considered the noblest fur, reserved for royalty. He wears a golden pendant around his neck, which depicts two leaves with the fruit of the thistle, which, in heraldry, symbolizes Scotland.
The writing and the pendant therefore refer to a Robert of Scotland, probably from the dynasty that reigned in the fourteenth century.
The portrait was however executed in the romantic nineteenth-century period, probably using some ancient engravings...

"Phase 2 Variation IV" Black and White Abstract Fantasy Etching by Paul A. L.
Located in Pasadena, CA
This monochromatic, black-and-white abstract painting plays a constant game between forms and shadows. For the painter, his artworks are a pure contrast between the visible and the invisible. Dark gestural lines decorate the background and contrast against a disappearing white background with subtle details of grey. Organic patterns appear in the black line work, creating an ethereal use of depth and space. The foreground contains multiple uncanny shapes feeding an overall fantasy yet gloomy atmosphere.
