Original oil painting on linen canvas 60x50cm, varnished.
Commissioned by the local Mini-Museum of Natural History.

This beetle of increadible beauty is Goliathus regius, commonly known as the Royal Goliath. Native to Africa, it can display a variety of patterns, though its primary coloration is black and white. I simply couldn't deny myself the absolute pleasure of painting this magnificent creature. It gave me the fascinating challenge of capturing the nuanced shades of white on its elytra.
Available by commision: while the original is sold and cannot be exactly replicated, I am happy to take comissions for a custom painting inspired by this artwork.

Production time: 30 business days.
