EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the intricate beauty of the Palazzo Trinci in Foligno, Umbria, Italy. This magnificent hall serves as a visual representation of the connection between celestial bodies and human knowledge. Painted by Gentile da Fabriano, one of Italy's greatest exponents of international Gothic art, this masterpiece depicts symbolic figures representing the seven planets: Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and Sun. Each planet governs a different phase of human life which is illustrated within concentric disks. The middle zone represents specific times of day with the presence of Air, Sun, and Moon. The north wall features depictions of the Arts of Trivium (Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric) and Quadrivium (Arithmetic Music Geometry Astronomy), arranged hierarchically to symbolize progressive learning leading to Philosophy - the pinnacle of human knowledge - triumphantly displayed opposite a window. This extraordinary artwork not only illustrates how each planet influences various phases in our lives but also highlights how these phases correspond to different disciplines on the scale of learning. Furthermore it emphasizes that each discipline possesses properties similar to those found within celestial spheres. With its meticulous details and vibrant colors captured beautifully by photographer Ghigo Roli from Fine Art Finder collection, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind "The Hall Of Liberal Arts And Planets" while also providing insight into humanity's age-old fascination with cosmic connections.
