✷ ARTWORK
View of Villa Cipressi, Varenna, Lake Como by Emilie Mediz-Pelikan c.1900 offers a scene of timeless appeal with it's tranquil vista of Lake Como and historic architecture framed by cypress and stone. Emilie Mediz-Pelikan painted this view of Villa Cipressi in the early 1900s - before the world forgot her name, and long before the villa became a luxury hotel with a wedding brochure.
Mediz-Pelikan was one of the few women navigating the European art world at the turn of the century. She studied with the likes of Albert Zimmermann, painted across Germany, Italy, and Belgium, and then more or less vanished from the history books. Only recently has her work begun to resurface - and it’s about time.
✷ HANDCRAFTED DETAILS
Definitely not mass-produced, and not pretending to be. Each piece is built by hand using archival canvas and a hydrostone frame cast from a mold of a rare antique.. It has that slightly mysterious, old-world presence, like it could have been quietly minding its business in a studio somewhere for the past hundred years.
• Archival canvas print with satin varnish (museum-quality, fade-resistant).
• Plaster relief frame, hand-poured, and finished in a vintage patina. Hydrostone plaster is made from mineral-based materials, not petroleum, and it’s biodegradable instead of persisting like plastic resins.
•Two finishes available: Aged gold, created with a real metal finish applied in the mold for warm, heirloom vibes, or classic black, with pigment mixed directly into the plaster for a deep, matte look that won’t chip or flake.
• At 1.6 lbs, it has a satisfying bit of weight to it and feels solid rather than delicate, with pre-installed hanging hardware so it’s easy to hang.
✷ THOUGHTFUL EXTRAS
Custom gift box with:
• A removable Swiss lithograph art card (early 20th-century, collectible designs. Yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one!).
• A picture pin and artist card with painting details.
• Small Ornate or Mini Cove frame option available—just message me!
✷ PERFECT FOR:
• armchair travelers with expensive taste and no luggage
• lovers of crumbling villas, still water, and silent mornings
• anyone decorating a home that smells faintly of old books and olive oil
• quiet corners, soft light, and people who romanticize European decay
• homes where the phrase "one day, we'll go to Italy" gets said a lot
