EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome fresco, titled "Portrait of Ptolemy" transports us back to the 16th century in Orvieto, Umbria, Italy. Created by Luca Signorelli's pupils between 1501 and 1503, this artwork is housed in the Alberi Library within the Museo dell Opera del Duomo (MODO). The painting forms part of a cycle of monochrome frescoes that depict famous classical masters from various disciplines such as law, medicine, astronomy, and grammar. The attribution to Signorelli's school adds an intriguing layer to its historical significance. In this particular portrait, Ptolemy takes center stage as an embodiment of astronomical knowledge and wisdom. His gaze is fixed on something beyond our sightline - perhaps contemplating celestial mysteries or mapping out the cosmos. The artist skillfully captures his subject's intellectual depth through meticulous brushwork and shading techniques. As we admire this masterpiece today, it serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and scientific curiosity during the Renaissance period. The intricate details invite viewers to delve into the world of ancient scholarship while appreciating Signorelli's mastery in capturing human expression. Ghigo Roli expertly photographed this print for Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate every nuance and stroke with clarity.
