EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the vault in the Aula Costabiliana, also known as the Hall of the Treasure, located in Palazzo Costabili or Palazzo di Ludovico il Moro in Ferrara, Emilia Romagna, Italy. The frescoes adorning this XVI century masterpiece were created by Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo (1481-1559), an esteemed Italian artist. In this particular section of the vault, we are treated to a glimpse of lunettes representing the mythological tale of Eros and Anteros. These intricate depictions were inspired by a literary work penned by Celio Calcagnini, a renowned humanist and close friend of Costabili who commissioned Garofalo for this project. The level of detail and artistry evident in these frescoes is truly awe-inspiring. Each brushstroke brings to life the mythical figures with their delicate features and graceful poses. The colors used are vibrant yet harmonious, creating an ethereal atmosphere within the space. Palazzo Costabili itself holds great historical significance as it currently serves as the seat for the National Archaeological Museum or Museo Archeologico Nazionale o di Spina. This adds another layer of intrigue to these magnificent frescoes that adorn its walls. Through this print captured by Ghigo Roli from Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only Garofalo's artistic talent but also delve into ancient mythology while exploring one small fragment of Ferrara's rich cultural heritage.
