About the artist and his style:
Massimo Rao (1950-1996) studied art history in Benevento and then architecture at the University of Naples. He had exhibitions in Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and the United States. The Panorama Museum in Bad Frankenhausen (D) honored Massimo Rao with a major retrospective in 2005.
Massimo Rao painted contemporary in the style of the old masters. Many images return in his paintings: women depicted as Greek goddesses, men dressed as angels sometimes hiding behind the moon. A clear theme with a mysterious touch.
Pick up in Leusden (Amersfoort).
