EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of the three decans who oversee the month of March in Il Salone dei Mesi, a magnificent fresco painted by Francesco del Cossa between 1470 and 1499. Located in Palazzo Schifanoia, Ferrara, Emilia Romagna, Italy, this artwork is a true testament to the beauty and symbolism of medieval Italian art. The figure depicted here is an allegorical representation of March, dressed in elaborate Renaissance attire. The intricate costume reflects the attention to detail that was characteristic of this period. Surrounding the figure are various symbols associated with astrology and zodiac signs. The starry backdrop adds a celestial touch to the composition. One notable element is the presence of arrows held by March's hand. These weapons symbolize both defense and aggression, representing how this month can bring both challenges and opportunities for growth. The looped arrow points towards an astrological sign on a hoop above, further emphasizing its connection to astrology. Il Salone dei Mesi serves as an allegory for each month throughout the year, showcasing different figures overseeing their respective time periods. This particular image captures not only the artistic mastery but also provides insight into how people during that era perceived time and its significance. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into Italian Renaissance artistry while inviting contemplation about our relationship with time and its cyclical nature.
