The story behind the motif
Canvas painting of the iconic garden of Villa d'Este, Italy. The painting was painted in 1843 by the Swedish artist Gustaf Wilhelm Palm.
Villa d'Este is an Italian palace with garden just outside Rome. It was built in the middle of the 16th century and is listed as a World Heritage Site. The trees in the motif are Cypress and can be up to 2000 years old. Cypress oil is used today for breathing difficulties and is very popular in men's perfumes. The tree has for several hundred years been considered sacred and symbolizes the beloved, female beauty and the Greek goddesses Aphrodite, Hera and Athena. In ancient times there seems to have been a superstitious custom of using cypress twigs to protect against sorcery.
Artist: Gustaf Wilhelm Palm | Created: 1843.
