EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the ceiling fresco titled "Bellerophon, riding Pegasus, slaying the Chimaera" by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The artwork can be found in Palazzo Sandi-Porto (Cipollato) in Venice, Italy. In this mythical scene, Bellerophon, a legendary hero from Greek mythology, fearlessly rides atop the magnificent winged horse Pegasus as they confront and conquer the fearsome Chimaera. With his spear held high and determination etched on his face, Bellerophon strikes down the monstrous creature with unwavering bravery. Tiepolo's masterful brushstrokes bring this epic battle to life on the grand canvas of the palace ceiling. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail - from the fiery breath of the Chimaera to Pegasus' graceful flight through swirling clouds. The composition is executed in a technique known as "sotto in su" which means "from below upwards". This unique perspective creates an illusion that allows viewers to feel immersed within this mythological realm. It is truly a testament to Tiepolo's artistic genius. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of humanity's eternal struggle against adversity and our capacity for triumph over seemingly insurmountable challenges. It serves as a powerful symbol of courage and resilience that continues to inspire generations across time.
