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 gentiluomo con strumento musicale e dama. 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 captures a moment of elegance and refinement in the vault of the Hall of the Treasure at Palazzo Costabili, Ferrara. Painted by Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo in the 16th century, this detail showcases a gentleman holding a musical instrument while accompanied by a gentlewoman. The ceiling is adorned with an array of characters, many of whom are depicted with musical instruments, showcasing their love for arts, music, and poetry. The scene is set against a backdrop of Oriental rugs hanging from a large balcony that runs along the sides of the ceiling. This balcony serves as a showcase for the aristocracy of the time, featuring portraits exuding rare elegance. Above this picturesque setting lies a turquoise sky with branches laden with fruit knotted around the balustrade. The overall composition creates an evocative scenography reminiscent of an enclosed garden or "hortus conclusus" designed to impress important guests. At its center lies an illusionistic wooden rose window intricately carved and gilded, surrounded by decorative architectural elements. A frieze adorned with grotesque motifs encloses medallions depicting mythological scenes and ancient Roman stories. This print offers viewers a glimpse into the opulence and artistic sophistication prevalent during this period in Italian history. It celebrates not only beauty but also highlights society's appreciation for music and culture as integral parts of their lives.
