Italian Grotesca Ornamental Scrollwork Mural

Rustic red venetian plaster accent wall with hand-painted ornamental scrollwork mural. An important part of this mural is that it was influenced by a unique style of decorative painting called grotesca, which can be seen all over Italy, France and Europe. Grotesca is a style of decorative art, typically murals and sculptures that create scenes with animals, figures, and botanicals. The word is derived from the Italian grotteschi, referring to the grottoes in which these decorations were found. This 15ft x 9ft residential accent wall mural was painted in the library of a custom-built home in Palos Verdes, CA.
