Rare hand-painted Art Deco room divider – in the style of Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" (circa 1920-1935) A single Art Deco screen, entirely handcrafted in the style of Michelangelo, interpreted from the "Creation of Adam" in the Sistine Chapel. An exact copy, yet a true artistic interpretation of the interwar period (circa 1920-1935), showcasing the grandeur of the Renaissance combined with elegant women and the warm hues of the Art Deco style. The screen features solid panels made from traditional grain (gesso) where olive wood is a choice. These classic furnishing techniques exhibit deep work with a subtle crackled pattern that always invites a natural inspection. Renovation work with metal nails is typical of Art Deco furniture and interiors of the time. With impressive dimensions of approximately 170 cm in height and 240 cm in width, this piece is a true eye-catcher — perfectly designed as a decorative room divider or as a monumental wall artwork. Landmarks: Period: circa 1920-1935 (interwar) Style: Art Deco with neoclassical elements – in the style of Michelangelo. Technique: Oil paint on chalk ground (gesso) on wooden panels.
