On the north wall of the Hall the Arts of Trivio (Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric) and of the Quadrivium (Arithmetic, Music, Geometry and Astronomy) were depicted, according to a hierarchical order of learning that leads to the point of arrival of all human knowledge, Philosophy, which triumphs in the center of the wall opposite the window.

Ogni pianeta sovrintende ad una fase della vita umana che viene raffigurata all interno di dischi concentrici dove nella zona di mezzo, l Aria, il Sole e la Luna definiscono una determinata ora del giorno. Nella parete nord della Sala vennero raffigurate le Arti del Trivio (Grammatica. Dialettica, Retorica) e del Quadrivio ( Aritmetica, Musica, Geometria e Astronomia), secondo un ordine gerarchico di apprendimento che conduce al punto di arrivo di ogni sapere umano, la Filosofia, che trionfa al centro della parete opposta alla finestra. Ogni pianeta influenza una fase della vita umana, ad ogni fase della vita umana corrisponde, nella scala dell apprendimento, una diversa disciplina, ogni disciplina e simile, per le sue proprieta, ad una delle sfere celesti. La decorazione viene affidata a Gentile da Fabriano, il massimo esponente del gotico internazionale in Italia, con aiuti (Jacopo Bellini, Paolo Nocchi, Francesco Giambono da Bologna e Battista di Domenico da Padova), e realizzata trail 1411 e 1412.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Hall of Liberal Arts and Planets" by Gentile da Fabriano, located in the Palazzo Trinci in Foligno, Umbria, Italy. The hall is adorned with symbolic figures representing the seven planets - Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and Sun - following the order of the days of the week. Each planet governs a phase of human life depicted within concentric disks that define specific times of day through the presence of Air, Sun, and Moon. On one wall are depicted the Arts of Trivium (Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric) and Quadrivium (Arithmetic Music Geometry Astronomy), arranged hierarchically to represent different levels of learning leading to Philosophy at its pinnacle. Each planet influences a phase of human life which corresponds to a different discipline on the learning scale. These disciplines share properties with celestial spheres. Gentile da Fabriano was entrusted with this magnificent decoration project between 1411 and 1412. He was renowned as Italy's greatest exponent of international Gothic art during that time period. Assisting him were Jacopo Bellini Paolo Nocchi Francesco Giambono from Bologna and Battista di Domenico from Padua. This particular print focuses on a detail depicting Rhetoric within "The Hall". It captures not only Gentile da Fabriano's artistic brilliance but also highlights Ghigo Roli's talent for capturing fine details through his lens.
