EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of the animal cave inside the garden of the Medici Villa of Castello in Florence. Designed by Pericoli Niccol, also known as Tribolo, during the years 1545-1550, this intricate sculpture showcases his mastery in blending High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The focal point of this print is a rooster and parrot beautifully carved into stone. The attention to detail is astonishing; every feather on their bodies seems to come alive under the skillful hands of Tribolo. These two vibrant creatures stand out against a backdrop that features other animals such as dogs, goats, giraffes, rhinoceroses, bears - an entire menagerie brought to life through art. Dating back to before 1916 when this photograph was taken by Alinari Fratelli (not mentioning commercial use), it serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of this artwork created centuries ago. The collaboration between artists Ammannati Bartolomeo (1511-1592), Vasari Giorgio (1511-1574), Tribolo himself (1500-1550), Lorenzi Stoldo has resulted in an extraordinary masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers even today. As we gaze upon this image from our modern perspective, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and creativity that defined Europe during its first and second millenniums A. D. This artwork represents not only a celebration of nature but also showcases fanciful elements that were characteristic of Renaissance art. In summary, this print immortalizes an exquisite detail within the animal cave at Medici Villa - a testament to both artistic brilliance and historical significance.
