EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate and allegorical subject of the Ceiling in the Hall of the Firmament, dating back to 1557-58 in Vicenza, Italy. The central focus of the fresco is Phaeton losing control of the chariot of the Sun, with Diana driving the chariot of the Moon behind him. The panels depict various constellations, while white and golden stucco squares by Bartolomeo Ridolfi add a touch of elegance.
Created by Domenico Riccio, also known as Brusasorzi, this cycle represents a prime example of sixteenth-century astrological studies. The detailed grotesques by Eliodoro Forbicini further enhance the overall decorative appeal of this masterpiece. Mythological figures such as Diana (Artemis) are prominently featured throughout, adding a sense of divine presence to the artwork.
The play between light and shadow on this ceiling creates an ethereal atmosphere that transports viewers into a celestial realm filled with symbolism and beauty. This print truly encapsulates not only the artistic skill involved but also the rich history and mythology woven into every brushstroke. It serves as a timeless reminder of Renaissance artistry at its finest.
