EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning scene from the Chamber of the Zodiac in Palazzo d'Arco, Mantua. The focal point is the astrological sign of Leo, depicted with exquisite detail and artistry. Standing on seven steps, Diana, the goddess of hunting and wild animals, commands attention as she is accompanied by two graceful deer and a mischievous satyr. This imagery draws inspiration from a sarcophagus found in Bleinhaim Palace. In the background, we glimpse the magnificent Arco degli Argentari in Rome, adding an air of grandeur to this composition. Additionally, Hercules can be seen locked in a fierce struggle against the mighty Nemean lion. This depiction symbolizes strength and courage overcoming adversity. The fresco was masterfully created by Giovanni Maria Falconetto around 1515. His skillful brushwork brings life to every element within this intricate piece of art. As viewers admire this print, they are transported back in time to experience both mythological wonder and historical significance. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries past. This print captures not only an extraordinary work of art but also invites contemplation about astrology's influence on ancient civilizations and their beliefs about celestial bodies' impact on human lives.
