EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail of the Chamber of Dawn fresco, titled "Dawn with the chariot of the Sun" created by Settevecchi and Bastianino in the 16th century. Located within the Castello Estense in Ferrara, Italy, this chamber was originally known as Ercole II's private room and later became popularly referred to as the mirror chamber during the 1600s. The artwork depicts Aurora, personifying dawn, gracefully guiding her celestial chariot across a mesmerizing ceiling scene. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this allegory of human existence. As one gazes at this masterpiece, they are transported into a realm where time stands still and imagination takes flight. The Castello Estense itself is an architectural marvel that has stood for centuries as a symbol of power and elegance. Its rich history intertwines with that of Ferrara, making it an essential landmark in Italian culture. This particular print captures every brushstroke with remarkable clarity thanks to Ghigo Roli's exceptional photography skills.
