EDITORS COMMENTS
This fresco, titled "Sign of the Zodiac: The Pisces. Scene of fishing" takes us back to the Renaissance era in Italy. Painted around 1520 by Giovanni Maria Falconetto, it is housed in the Palazzo d Arco in Mantua. The artwork depicts two medallions at the top, showcasing Emperor Caracalla and his brother Geta. Below them lies a fascinating legend associated with the birth of the constellation corresponding to the sign of Pisces: a scene of fishermen engaged in their craft. Falconetto's mastery is evident as he skillfully captures every detail - from the flowing robes of the figures to their expressions filled with concentration and determination. The fisherman's net stretches across the foreground, symbolizing both their livelihood and perhaps even deeper meanings related to astrology. The painting transports us into an ancient world where astrology played a significant role in people's lives. It reminds us that art has always been intertwined with human beliefs and understanding of natural elements. Luisa Ricciarini beautifully captures this remarkable fresco through her photography, allowing viewers today to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back centuries ago, marveling at how art can transcend time and connect us with our past.
