“Birth of Fortuna”: A Range Hood Response to Sandro Botticelli

‘Birth of Fortuna’ - a range hood based of Botticelli’s masterpiece

Here’s a range hood for the true connoisseur. Going far beyond the basic hammered copper or bronze range hood, we’re showing we mean business when it comes to art in the kitchen with this metal range hood. What hood could go better above the Diva de Provence range in a bold Tuscan kitchen design? Or fit better under your mahogany cabinets above that Aga range you cook on every day? Our metal artistic range hoods continue to push the envelope of art and design…

For our take on Botticelli’s classical masterpiece, we’ve shifted the referents to reflect a changed era. Gone are the personified zephyrs of the wind and the welcoming seasonal goddess, replaced with architectural motifs reflecting wind and fruitful land. The goddess who floats to shore on the sexualized scallop shell is now Fortuna, the goddess responsible for luck, wealth. good taste, and fortune. Colors were added with our signature finish technique, selected for their thematic unity as well as their place in an artistic kitchen design.
