Classical & Historical Art: G. Colombo - "La Corsa" (The Chariot Race) Pompeii Fresco Copy

Lovely hand-painted gouache reproduction with vibrant colour that will bring out an academic archaeological sophistication straight onto a gallery wall or study layout.

Painted in 1998 by Italian copyist G. Colombo, this piece is a highly detailed rendition of the famous Cupid Chariot Race ("La Corsa") fresco from the House of the Vettii excavations in Pompeii. The artwork is beautifully executed over deep Pompeian red and rich black bands, capturing the whimsical movements of the winged Cupids driving stag-drawn chariots.

Professionally mounted behind glass in a classic beaded gilt-wood frame by Tony Gray’s Framing in Johannesburg, this vintage painting adds immediate historical character and timeless warmth to any curated home library. Pairs beautifully as a matching set with the companion piece, Listing 054 (The Goldsmith Cupids).
