Ferrara, Palazzo Costabili o Palazzo di Ludovico il Moro (oggi sede del Museo Archeologico Nazionale o di Spina), Aula Costabiliana o Sala del Tesoro, volta, affreschi cinquecenteschi di Benvenuto Tisi, detto il Garofalo: particolare con due giovani bellissime dame (la maggiore tiene in mano un liuto). Lungo i lati del soffitto un ampia balconata da cui pendono tappeti orientali: una galleria di personaggi, molti dei quali con strumenti musicali, affacciati in maniera disinvolta a testimoniare con garbo e misura il loro amore per l arte, la musica e la poesia. In una suggestiva scenografia, oltre la balconata si apre un cielo turchino, su cui e strutturato un gazebo con rami carichi di frutta e tralci sospesi, annodati alla balaustra. La sala e un hortus conclusus, un giardino segreto voluto dal padrone di casa per i suoi importanti ospiti. Al centro dell apertura illusionistica sono un fastoso rosone in legno intagliato e dorato e una finta architettura che funge da copertura e al tempo stesso da decorazione. Tutt intorno corre un fregio a grottesche entro cui compaiono medaglioni con scene mitologiche e storie dell antica Roma.); Ghigo Roli; Italian, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail from the vault of the Hall of the Treasure in Palazzo Costabili, Ferrara, Italy. Painted by Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo in the 16th century, this fresco captures two beautiful gentlewomen, one of whom is elegantly holding a lute. The ceiling itself serves as a showcase of aristocratic elegance during that time period. The scene is set against a backdrop of an expansive balcony adorned with Oriental rugs hanging outwards. From this vantage point, numerous characters lean over and proudly display their love for arts, music, and poetry. The gallery features individuals playing various musical instruments while exuding an air of sophistication and grace. Above the balcony lies a mesmerizing turquoise sky embellished with a gazebo filled with branches laden with fruit delicately knotted around the balustrade. This room can be likened to an hortus conclusus or secret garden created by its owner to impress important guests. At the center of this illusionistic opening stands a grandiose carved and gilded wooden rose window alongside architectural elements that serve both as coverings and decorations. Surrounding these focal points are intricate friezes adorned with grotesque motifs interspersed with medallions depicting mythological scenes and stories from ancient Rome. This print offers viewers an enchanting glimpse into Italian Renaissance artistry and provides insight into the opulence enjoyed by Ferrara's elite during this era.
