Renowned jeweller Francois Santo proudly presents his collectors’ piece, “The Rebirth of Bacchus,” a stunning brooch that can transform into a pendant. Drawing inspiration from Caravaggio’s Young Sick Bacchus, Caravaggio was profoundly immersed in this reflection during his hospitalization in Rome. This exquisite piece symbolizes the triumph of Love over the profound sorrow of the soul, encapsulating the phrase “AMOR VINCIT OMNIA” – the triumph of life over death.
Santo, trained under master craftsmen, revives age-old traditions in this design. Featuring an opulent enamel vineyard leaf adorned with white, yellow, and orange diamonds, onyx, and pink sapphires. A baroque pearl drop evokes the grandeur of the Italian Baroque period. The innovative use of light and depth in the enamel detail reflects emotional intensity, his commitment to artistry, and a perceived connection to both the divine and everyday life.
Following a successful debut at the Roma Jewellery Show, the award-winning piece will be showcased for private viewing at Santo’s showroom on Kings Street, Sydney. Collectors and enthusiasts are invited to experience this exceptional work that beautifully bridges history and contemporary elegance.
