About the piece
Painted in 1899 by Prospero Piatti and his workshop, this grand oil on canvas captures the lively energy of Floralia, the Roman festival dedicated to Flora, the goddess of flowers. The composition is a masterclass in Late Academic style, featuring intricate architectural details, classically draped figures, and a warm, luminous palette that brings the ancient celebration to life.
