EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent shield dating back to 1535, originating from Bologna, Italy. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this wooden masterpiece is adorned with linen and gesso, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. The addition of gold leaf accents adds a touch of opulence to the overall design. Attributed to the skilled artist Girolamo da Treviso from Treviso around 1498-1544, this shield is believed to have been created for a small group participating in Renaissance pageant shields. Its intricate paintings depict scenes inspired by Roman history and classical mythology both on its interiors and exteriors. The use of grisaille technique creates a stunning effect as various shades of gray are skillfully applied against the shell-shaped canvas. Measuring approximately 24 5/8 inches (62.53 cm) in diameter, this shield stands as a testament to the artistic prowess prevalent during that era. The Artokoloro print beautifully captures every minute detail of this historical artifact, allowing viewers to appreciate its craftsmanship even from afar. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, it serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations today.
