Wethersfield, the estate in Amenia, NY, of the late Chauncey Devereux Stillman(1907-1989), was the setting for a small luncheon on June 22nd celebrating the ceiling frescoes painted there by the celebrated Italian artist Pietro Annigoni (1910-1988). These are the only Annigoni frescoes in the United States.
Perhaps best known for his 1955 portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, Annigoni traveled from Italy to Wethersfield three different times in the early 1970s, accompanied by apprentices. The frescoes celebrate man in nature, and depict classical and mythological scenes, with many Hudson Valley vignettes.
