EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detail from the Room of Diana and Actaeon, an exquisite fresco cycle painted by Parmigianino in 1524. The room, located in Rocca Sanvitale, Fontanellato, Parma, Italy, is believed to have been the private bathroom of Paola Gonzaga, wife of Galeazzo Sanvitale. The image captures a section of the ceiling adorned with intricate architectural details and vibrant frescoes depicting scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this particular detail, we see the mythological figures of Diana and Actaeon engaged in a hunting scene. Diana (Artemis) is depicted with her loyal dog by her side as she holds a walking stick or cane. The artist's mastery is evident in his ability to bring these mythological characters to life through his meticulous brushwork and attention to detail. The presence of cherubs adds an ethereal quality to the composition. Parmigianino was a renowned painter and muralist during the Renaissance period. His works are characterized by their elegance and gracefulness. This print serves as a testament to his artistic brilliance and contribution to Italian art history. As we admire this stunning piece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and grandeur that once graced the walls of this remarkable room.
