Ferrara, Palazzo Costabili o Palazzo di Ludovico il Moro (oggi sede del Museo Archeologico Nazionale o di Spina), Aula Costabiliana o Sala del Tesoro, volta, affreschi cinquecenteschi di Benvenuto Tisi, detto il Garofalo: particolare con due giovani bellissime dame (la maggiore tiene in mano un liuto). Lungo i lati del soffitto un ampia balconata da cui pendono tappeti orientali: una galleria di personaggi, molti dei quali con strumenti musicali, affacciati in maniera disinvolta a testimoniare con garbo e misura il loro amore per l arte, la musica e la poesia. In una suggestiva scenografia, oltre la balconata si apre un cielo turchino, su cui e strutturato un gazebo con rami carichi di frutta e tralci sospesi, annodati alla balaustra. La sala e un hortus conclusus, un giardino segreto voluto dal padrone di casa per i suoi importanti ospiti. Al centro dell apertura illusionistica sono un fastoso rosone in legno intagliato e dorato e una finta architettura che funge da copertura e al tempo stesso da decorazione. Tutt intorno corre un fregio a grottesche entro cui compaiono medaglioni con scene mitologiche e storie dell antica Roma.); Ghigo Roli; Italian, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail from the vault of the Hall of the Treasure in Palazzo Costabili, Ferrara, Italy. Painted by Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo in the 16th century, this fresco captures two beautiful gentlewomen, one of whom is delicately holding a lute. The ceiling itself is an exquisite display of aristocracy and elegance, featuring portraits that exude rare sophistication. The scene unfolds with a large balcony adorned with Oriental rugs hanging along its sides. From this vantage point, a gallery of characters lean out to showcase their love for arts, music, and poetry. Musical instruments are prominently displayed as these individuals proudly express their passion for creativity. Above the balcony lies a mesmerizing turquoise sky embellished with a gazebo filled with branches laden with fruit knotted around the balustrade. This evocative scenography creates an enchanting atmosphere within the room. The Hall of the Treasure serves as an hortus conclusus or secret garden designed by its owner to impress important guests. At its center lies an illusionistic wooden rose window intricately carved and gilded, accompanied by architectural elements that serve both as coverings and decorations. Surrounding this central focal point is a frieze adorned with grotesque motifs interspersed with medallions depicting mythological scenes and stories from ancient Rome. This detailed print allows viewers to appreciate not only Garofalo's artistic skill but also provides insight into the opulence and refinement prevalent during this period in Italian history.
