Carro di Cerere,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or the Chariot of Ceres, is a stunning and intricately detailed pen and ink drawing with gray wash and watercolor on laid paper by the Italian artist Pietro de Angelis. This ancient Roman work of art, created in the 16th century, depicts the goddess Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain crops, and fertility, riding in her chariot. The chariot is pulled by two mythical beasts, dragons or serpents, with their sinuous bodies twisting and turning in a dynamic and captivating display of movement. Ceres is shown as a regal and powerful figure, dressed in flowing robes and wearing a coronet adorned with ears of wheat. Her expression is serene and determined as she holds the rudder of the chariot, guiding it forward. The charioteer, also dressed in ancient Roman attire, holds the reins tightly, his muscles taut with the effort of controlling the dragons. The scene is set against a backdrop of a winding road, with trees and buildings in the distance, suggesting a journey through the Roman countryside. The use of black and gray tones creates a sense of depth and contrast, while the addition of watercolor adds a touch of color and vibrancy to the drawing. This beautiful and historic artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome and the enduring influence of Roman mythology. It is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or mythology, and is a valuable addition to any art center or gallery collection. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its permanent collection, where it can be enjoyed by visitors from around the world.
