EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-001773-0000" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate mural decoration of the "Sala degli Specchi" in the Palazzo Ducale (Ducal Palace) located in Mantua. The image, captured between 1870 and 1890 by talented artist Antonio Maria Viani, showcases a remarkable piece of artwork dating back to 1600-1650. In this particular detail, we are drawn to a female figure depicted amidst an array of symbolic elements. The allegorical representation evokes abstract concepts and symbols that ignite our imagination. A majestic owl perched nearby adds an air of mystery while a bat hints at the enchantment of nightfall. The composition also includes various birds, emphasizing their significance as vertebrate animals within this artistic narrative. Among them is a barn owl and even a horse - terrestrial mammals that bring life to the scene. Above them all looms a cloud-like formation reminiscent of meteorological phenomena. One cannot help but notice Luna Selene, the Greco-Roman female divinity associated with the moon, gracefully portrayed within this masterpiece. Her presence adds depth and mythological allure to an already captivating portrait. A cart wheelbarrow placed on an earthly road suggests movement and transportation by land - offering us insight into scenes from daily life during that period. Andrea Premi skillfully captures every intricate detail in this photograph print from Alinari's collection. It allows us to appreciate not only Viani's artistry but also transports us back in time to experience firsthand the grandeur and symbolism present within Mantova's Palazzo Ducale.
