EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Piero di Cosimo's masterpiece, "Allegory" painted around 1500. The oil on panel composition measures 56.2x44.1 cm and is housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. This Italian artwork, now out of copyright, transports viewers to a realm of enchantment and symbolism. At the center of the painting, a mesmerizing mermaid emerges from the depths of a serene river. With her shimmering tail elegantly curved beneath her, she captivates all who behold her ethereal beauty. On her back rests a majestic white horse with magnificent wings sprouting from its sides – an extraordinary sight that defies reality. Hovering above this fantastical scene is a winged female angel gracefully gliding through the air. Her flowing red shawl billows behind her as she gazes down upon this allegorical tableau below. The artist masterfully blends elements from mythology and Renaissance art to create an allegory rich in meaning and intrigue. The rearing hind legs of the horses symbolize strength and power while also hinting at untamed wildness. Piero di Cosimo's "Allegory" invites us into a world where imagination reigns supreme—a visual feast for those who appreciate both fantasy and classical artistry.
