MARCH 2024 DECORATIVE & FINE ART SALE
Lot 142:
The inspiration for the "Thrice King" subject comes from the 1st-century AD Roman work of fiction "Satyricon" by Petronius. D’Aroma invented this image as one of the tacky and excessive dishes served by the newly enriched Trimalchio (Thrice King in English). The figure is one of the artist’s most iconic images.
