<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4275587, member: 5833"]Giovanni may have been considered an artist, but I have difficulty seeing this particular piece as anything more than decor. I can recognize half of the panels as being taken from the work of others & there is no reason to think the other half do not also have other sources. This is just a hodgepodge, various images of Hercules & other mythological themes mixed in with art nouveau designs, no rhyme or reason. It looks a bit classier in all metallic tones instead of blue, red, green & brown.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
