EDITORS COMMENTS
This fresco, titled "Humility sending away Pride" transports viewers to the grandeur of Villa Loschi Motterle in Vicenza, Italy. Painted by the renowned Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in 1734, this masterpiece adorns the main hall of the villa and depicts a powerful allegory. In this scene, Humility stands tall and resolute as she rejects Pride's advances. The artist skillfully captures their contrasting personas - Humility exudes grace and modesty while Pride is depicted with arrogance and flamboyance. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this baroque artwork. Surrounding them are various symbolic elements that enhance the narrative. A majestic peacock struts nearby, symbolizing vanity and self-importance. Cupid hovers above as a personification of virtue, reminding us of love's power to conquer pride. Tiepolo's mastery extends beyond human figures; he includes several wildlife animals that add depth to the composition. These creatures serve as a reminder of our humble place within nature's vast realm. The plaster mouldings frame this mural with elegance, highlighting its significance within the villa's architecture. As we gaze upon this triumphantly executed fresco print by Ghiro Roli, we are reminded of the timeless struggle between humility and pride - an eternal battle fought within ourselves.
