La Dolce Vita Italian Still Life Canvas Print

La Dolce Vita Italian Still Life Canvas PrintGive the kitchen wall one hard decision, and let everything else relax. This painterly Italian still life, with its soft pink ground, bottle of red wine, lemons and loose marigolds, takes that decision off your hands. Hang it and the room reads warmer and more lived in straight away like the table has just been cleared after a long lunch. It sits beautifully above a sideboard, breakfast nook bench or a narrow stretch of kitchen wall between cabinets.
