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, Italy. The fresco, created by Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo during the 16th century, depicts an enchanting scene from Greek mythology - the myth of Eros and Anteros. In this particular lunette (a crescent-shaped space), we witness a moment frozen in time where Eros and Anteros come to life. Inspired by Celio Calcagnini's literary work, which was chosen by Costabili himself to inspire Garofalo and his collaborators, this masterpiece beautifully captures their story. Eros, often associated with love and desire, is depicted with his bow and arrow ready to strike. His presence exudes passion and intensity. On the other hand, Anteros represents reciprocal love or avenging love. In this artwork, he appears contemplative yet powerful as he holds a torch symbolizing burning desire. The intricate details within this fresco are truly remarkable - from delicate brushstrokes that bring life to each figure's expression to vibrant colors that enhance their mythical aura. This print allows us to appreciate Garofalo's artistic genius while providing a glimpse into Italian Renaissance art at its finest. Displayed within Palazzo Costabili today as part of the National Archaeological Museum of Spina collection, these lunettes continue to captivate visitors with their timeless beauty and narrative power.
