EDITORS COMMENTS
This fresco, titled "Triumph of Ceres, the Zodiac sign of the Virgo and the three decans" transports us to a world of ancient mythology and celestial wonders. Created by Italian School artists in the 15th century, this masterpiece adorns the Hall of the Months in Palazzo Schifanoia, Ferrara. In this particular section dedicated to August, we witness a triumphant scene featuring Ceres, goddess of agriculture and fertility. She stands at the center with grace and power, surrounded by symbols representing her domain - bountiful harvests and abundant crops. The Zodiac sign of Virgo accompanies her as a celestial companion while three decans flank her sides. The attention to detail is exquisite; every stroke reveals meticulous craftsmanship that brings life to these mythical figures. From their flowing garments to their expressive faces, each element contributes to an atmosphere brimming with mystique and enchantment. Cosimo Tura's vision for this project shines through as he orchestrates a harmonious blend between artistry and storytelling. The painters from the Ferrara school skillfully execute his design with precision and finesse. As viewers stand before this print captured by Ghigo Roli's lens, they are transported back in time - immersed in an era where mythological deities reigned supreme. This artwork serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history - reminding us that even centuries later, its beauty continues to captivate our hearts and minds.
