In this painting by Mirabello Cavalori, titled "The Flame of the Altar Accidentally Ignites the Hair of Lavinia during her Marriage with Enee" we are transported to a moment filled with both beauty and misfortune. The scene depicts an ancient Greek mythological tale from Virgil's Aeneid. As Lavinia stands at the altar, ready to marry Enee, fate takes an unexpected turn. The flame on the altar suddenly leaps out and ignites Lavinia's flowing hair. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of this dramatic event as flames dance around her head while she remains composed in her wedding attire. Cavalori's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, showcasing his mastery of late Cinquecento art. The rich colors and intricate textures bring life to each element within the composition, from the ornate altar to Lavinia's delicate features. This painting not only showcases a moment of peril but also explores themes of human vulnerability and divine intervention. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of joyous celebration, unforeseen challenges can arise. Displayed at Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy, this artwork resides within Studiolo di Francesco I - Francois I de Medicis' personal work cabinet. Its presence adds depth and intrigue to any collection or exhibition it graces. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this iconic piece through her lens for Fine Art Finder, allowing us all to appreciate its timeless
