Scapigliata, Stile BK
Inspired by Renaissance portraiture and Virginia Woolf’s celebrated collection of writings, Rinascimento. A Room of One’s Own is emblematic of how a rug can delimit an intimate space within the home using the female figure. Every portrait is inspired by a work by a celebrated Old Master such as Leonardo, Ghirlandaio and Botticelli and each rug has a tale to tell; they captivate, they beguile, they evoke memories and emotions and they forge a strong link between this style of painting and the history of fashion.
