James Santos Original Framed Acrylic Painting of Zebra and Magellan Gin Bottle
Original acrylic painting on canvas by James Santos, signed lower left. This colorful contemporary composition depicts a blue-and-white zebra beside a Magellan Gin bottle in a lush landscape with flowering plants and acacia trees. This item is in good pre-owned, previously displayed condition with light wear and surface scratches. Please reference all photos for full details.
Art: 26 1/4" x 34 1/2" x 3/4". Weight: 6.5 lbs
This item is originally from the collection of liquor icon Michel Roux. One of Mr. Roux’s signature spirits at Crillon was absinthe, the anise-flavored spirit known for its popularity among 19th-century artists like van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec. It was banned by the United States in 1912 amid concerns that wormwood, one of its ingredients, which contained thujone, caused hallucinations. In 2000, Mr. Roux introduced a legal absinthe, Absente, which used a sister botanical, Southern wormwood, with only trace amounts of thujone.
