'The Joy of Rome' art exhibition at Farm Street

February 28, 2025

This exhibition, running on the Ground Floor Gallery at 114 Mount Street until the 28th February, is a tribute to some of Rome’s most special places.

The artist, Antonia Covarrubias Noé, captured scenes in oil paint and other techniques, including the enchanting Via Appia Antica, home to the historic Domine Quo Vadis church; the Tiber River, lined with its gentle trees; Via Panisperna, offering a breath-taking view of Santa Maria Maggiore; the Vatican dome bathed in the sunset glow from Gianicolo hill, and many more. She has also incorporated abstract works inspired by the vibrant, chaotic colours of iconic places like Piazza di Spagna.

Using traditional Roman restoration materials and reviving the ancient technique of rabbit skin glue and natural pigments, this is an invitation to wander the streets of Rome at a leisurely pace, savouring a gelato and immersing yourself in the beauty of every corner. No matter how many times we can visit the city, whether for short or long stays, it never truly finishes to show us it’s charm, perhaps that is why it’s call the 'Eternal City'. All are invited to come and view the exhibition.

There will also be a private view on Tuesday 25th February at 6.30pm which all are welcome to attend.
