EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing "Sala dei Cavalli" in all its grandeur. Painted by Giulio Romano and his workshop in 1528, this fresco adorns the south wall of Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy. The Sala dei Cavalli is a true masterpiece of trompe l'oeil artistry, featuring two lifelike horse portraits that seem to come alive within the architectural framework. As you gaze at this image, your eyes are drawn to the god Jupiter depicted alongside the horses, exuding an air of power and majesty. Surrounding them are imitation bronze panels showcasing the Labours of Hercules, adding depth and complexity to the composition. Every detail has been meticulously crafted - from lion coffering to faux marble elements - creating a visual feast for admirers. The room itself is adorned with ornate pilasters and friezes displaying intricate Italian ornamentation. The Gonzaga emblem proudly stands as a symbol of prestige and patronage. In every corner, there is evidence of Romano's masterful Mannerist style. This photograph perfectly captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this remarkable artwork. It transports you back in time, allowing you to appreciate both Romano's talent and his contribution to Italian Renaissance art. A true treasure preserved through centuries, now immortalized by A© Raffaello Bencini's lens for all art enthusiasts to admire.
