EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art known as "Cassone" by Guidi, Giovanni Di Ser Giovanni, Lo Sheggia. Measuring 69.2x188.3x70.2 cm, this tempera on wood and parcel-gilt wood masterpiece is housed in a private collection. The Cassone is an exquisite example of Italian Baroque-style polychrome-painted furniture, possibly dating back to the 19th century. Its panels are intricately set into the chest, creating a stunning visual display that transports viewers to the early Renaissance era. With its mythological motifs and decorative elements, this marriage chest tells a story through its painted scenes. The Florentine craftsmanship shines through every brushstroke as it depicts ceremonial moments from ancient mythology. This ornate cassone was traditionally used as a wedding chest during elaborate ceremonies and celebrations in the 15th century. It served not only as functional storage but also as an important symbol of wealth and status. The attention to detail in this piece is truly awe-inspiring; each panel is meticulously adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns that add depth and dimension to the overall composition. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate the beauty of this historic artwork while marveling at its significance within both artistic movements such as Baroque and Renaissance periods alike.
