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 beautiful detail from the vault of the Hall of the Treasure in Palazzo Costabili, Ferrara. Painted by Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo in the 16th century, this fresco showcases an exquisite scene of elegance and artistry. In this particular detail, we see a gentleman holding a musical instrument while standing alongside a gentlewoman. They are surrounded by Oriental rugs hanging from a large balcony that runs along the sides of the ceiling. This balcony serves as a gallery for various characters, many of whom also hold musical instruments and lean out to display their love for arts, music, and poetry. The aristocracy of the time is beautifully represented on this ceiling with portraits exuding rare elegance. Above the balcony lies a turquoise sky adorned with branches filled with fruit knotted around the balustrade. The overall effect is both evocative and enchanting. The Hall of the Treasure itself is like a secret garden created by its owner to impress important guests. At its center lies an illusionistic wooden rose window intricately carved and gilded, accompanied by decorative architectural elements. Surrounding it is a frieze adorned with grotesque motifs containing medallions depicting mythological scenes and stories from ancient Rome. This stunning image transports us back in time to an era where art flourished under noble patronage, showcasing not only artistic talent but also social status and refinement.
