EDITORS COMMENTS
This fresco, titled "Humility sending away Pride" is a masterpiece created by the renowned Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in 1734. The artwork can be found adorning the main hall of Villa Loschi Motterle, located in Vicenza, Veneto, Italy. In this allegorical piece, Tiepolo skillfully portrays the concept of humility rejecting pride. The central focus of the composition is a lamb symbolizing innocence and purity. Surrounding it are various figures representing different virtues and vices. A peacock stands as a symbol of vanity while Cupid represents love and virtue. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout the mural; every figure has been meticulously painted with vibrant colors and intricate brushwork. The use of plaster moulding adds depth and texture to the scene. Tiepolo's mastery lies not only in his technical skills but also in his ability to convey complex concepts through visual storytelling. Through this fresco, he reminds us of the importance of humility over pride and encourages us to embrace virtuous qualities. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured beautifully by Ghiro Roli's lens, we are transported back to an era where art served as both entertainment and moral guidance. It serves as a testament to Tiepolo's genius that his work continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
