EDITORS COMMENTS
This fresco, titled "Palazzina (Small Building), the third room or room of the Aeneid: 'Venus, as a huntress, appears to her son Aeneas and his companion Achates on the beach of Libya, ordering them to go to Dido'" transports us into the mythical world of ancient Rome. Created by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in 1756-57, this masterpiece is housed within Villa Valmarana ai Nani in Vicenza, Italy. The scene depicts Venus, goddess of love and beauty, assuming the guise of a huntress as she reveals herself to her son Aeneas and his loyal companion Achates. They stand on the sandy shores of Libya under an expansive sky filled with billowing clouds. With grace and authority, Venus points towards their destined path - towards Dido. Tiepolo's skillful use of perspective draws our gaze towards Venus' commanding presence amidst a backdrop adorned with intricate architectural details. The rococo style prevalent during this period is evident through delicate brushwork and vibrant colors that bring life to each figure. As we admire this artwork steeped in mythology and history, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its ability to transport us into another realm. It serves as a testament to Tiepolo's mastery as he captures both divine power and human emotion within one frame.
