EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting, titled "Aurora" and dating from the mid-17th to early 18th century, is a captivating masterpiece created by the School of Carlo Cignani. Hailing from the Bolognese tradition, this Italian artwork showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic brilliance of the Cignani School. Aurora, the Roman goddess of the dawn, is depicted in this painting as a graceful and ethereal figure. She rides on the back of a majestic horse, her long, flowing robes billowing in the wind. The sky around her is filled with the soft hues of pink and orange, signaling the approaching dawn. Surrounding Aurora are cherubs, or putti, playfully frolicking among animals such as horses and other creatures. These cherubs represent the amorini, or cupids, of Roman mythology, symbolizing love and the passing of time. The rich colors and intricate details of this oil painting are a testament to the artistic skill and heritage of Italian art during the 17th and 18th centuries. This masterpiece, now a cherished part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and religious significance.
