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 fresco, created by Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo during the 16th century, depicts lunettes representing the mythological tale of Eros and Anteros. In this particular section captured by photographer Ghigo Roli, we are treated to a glimpse of one of these lunettes that beautifully illustrates the literary work by humanist Celio Calcagnini. As a close friend and inspiration to Count Costabili (the patron who commissioned Garofalo), Calcagnini's writings were chosen to inspire both Garofalo and his collaborators. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcased in this image truly bring this mythological scene to life. The delicate brushstrokes expertly depict Eros and Anteros engaging with each other amidst an ethereal backdrop. It is fascinating how art can transcend time and allow us to immerse ourselves in ancient stories like these. Today, Palazzo Costabili serves as the seat for the National Archaeological Museum or Spina Museum. This photograph not only captures a stunning piece of artwork but also provides us with a window into history—a testament to both artistic skill and cultural significance.
