EDITORS COMMENTS
Aeolus, the Ancient Greek god of the winds, is depicted in this stunning sanguine on paper drawing by the Bolognese School artist Pellegrino Tibaldi. Created in the Mannerist style, this allegorical work showcases Aeolus in a thoughtful and contemplative pose, seated on a rocky outcropping overlooking a turbulent sea. With his long, flowing beard and robes, Aeolus exudes wisdom and power as the ruler of the winds. The intricate details of the folds in his clothing and the texture of the rocky terrain are masterfully rendered, highlighting Tibaldi's exceptional drafting skills. The mythological figure gazes intently into the distance, as if considering which winds to release from his magical box to control the elements. The use of chiaroscuro, or strong contrasts between light and shadow, adds depth and dimension to the image, further emphasizing the power and majesty of Aeolus. This beautiful drawing is a testament to the artistic mastery of Pellegrino Tibaldi and the enduring allure of mythology in fine art. Originally part of the collection of the Musee du Louvre in Paris, this work is a must-see for anyone interested in allegory, literature, or the art of the Italian Renaissance.
