EDITORS COMMENTS
This black chalk drawing, with some pen and brown ink details, showcases an unidentified ceiling painting by the talented artist Pietro Santi Bartoli. Measuring 48.7x37 cm, this exquisite piece is a testament to Bartoli's mastery of his craft. The focal point of the artwork is a mysterious female figure adorned with a striking blue scarf, seated atop a majestic griffin that gracefully moves towards the right. Set against a vibrant red background, this central composition immediately captures one's attention. Flanking either side of the main scene are two rectangular panels depicting sacrificial scenes. The entire field surrounding these panels is intricately decorated with foliage motifs, among which Victories can be spotted. With its rich Roman and Greek influences evident in both subject matter and style, this seventeenth-century Italian masterpiece transports viewers to another time and place. The level of detail achieved through delicate strokes of black chalk combined with pen and brown ink demonstrates Bartoli's technical prowess as an artist. This stunning print offers us a glimpse into the grandeur of historical ceiling paintings while leaving us intrigued about its origins and purpose. With kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of the Holkham Estate, we have been granted access to admire this remarkable work by Pietro Santi Bartoli for generations to come.
