EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century Nuptial Chest, or cassone, is a testament to the artistic mastery of Italian painter Giovanni di Ser Giovanni Lo, also known as Lo Scheggia (1406-1486). The exterior of the chest showcases the triumphal entry of Romulus and Tatius into ancient Rome, symbolizing the establishment of the city's first diarchy. The procession is depicted with great detail, featuring cavalry, horses, and a flag-bearer, as well as an attendant carrying a dog and a man in a loincloth. The interior of the lid reveals a figure carrying an array of flowers, adding a delightful touch to this marriage chest. The intricately carved and painted design reflects the early Renaissance period's fascination with classical mythology and the splendor of the ancient world. Originally used as a decorative storage chest for a bride's trousseau, this cassone is now a cherished piece of European art history. It is currently housed in the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, Denmark, where it continues to captivate visitors with its stunning artwork and historical significance.
