Capriccio Italiano Black is a work from the Capricci Series by Fausto Maria Franchi

Capriccio Italiano Black. Although belonging to the Italian Capricci series, this painting is the only one to be presented on a black background. In the center stands a kind of totem, I have a fantastic animal or a mythological subject. Fantasy is the master and everyone has the task of interpreting according to their tastes or fantasies. What unites this work to the others of the same series is the brilliance of the colors, more enhanced by the black background, and the plasticity of the shapes that are added to each other creating a play of colors.
