Tema e Variazioni No. 381 Wall Plate
Tema e Variazioni No. 381 presents Lina Cavalieri's celebrated portrait with a gold star positioned over one eye and a matching gold tongue piercing. The graphic combination introduces a glam rock-inflected character to the composition, bringing an unexpected contemporary note to Piero Fornasetti's iconic imagery.
Part of Piero Fornasetti's celebrated Tema e Variazioni series, the design demonstrates the artist's enduring fascination with transforming a single image through ornament and symbolic motifs. Featuring a gold star motif and a matching gold tongue piercing, this variation recalls the theatrical styling and stage personas associated with rock and performance culture.
Rendered on fine porcelain with gold accents, the plate showcases the craftsmanship and inventive visual language that have made Tema e Variazioni one of the most recognisable collections in decorative art. Displayed individually or alongside other variations from the series, it offers a distinctive addition to a Fornasetti collection.
