EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing fresco titled "The Fall of the Demons, Stories of Scipio" by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Created in 1731, this magnificent artwork adorns the walls of Palazzo Dugnani in Milan, Lombardy, Italy. In this scene from the fresco, we witness a celestial battle between angels and demons unfold on a grand scale. The allegorical composition showcases Tiepolo's mastery in depicting movement and drama through his brushstrokes. As if frozen in time, we see demons tumbling down from a heavenly vault while angels soar above them with grace and determination. The rococo style is evident throughout the painting with its intricate details and delicate color palette. Putti and cherubs add an ethereal touch to the scene as they playfully hover amidst clouds and celestial beings. Tiepolo's work tells a story inspired by Scipio Africanus, a Roman general who defeated Hannibal during the Second Punic War. This particular episode depicts Scipio's triumph over evil forces as he stands alongside Massimissa. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art captured beautifully by photographer eMauro Ranzani for Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported into a world where mythological figures come alive before our eyes. It serves as a testament to Tiepolo's genius as one of Italy's most celebrated artists of his time.
