EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning fresco titled "Sign of the Zodiac: The lion. The deity Artemis of Ephese" by Giovanni Maria Falconetto. Created around 1520 in Mantua, Italy, this Renaissance masterpiece can be found in the Palazzo d Arco's Sala dello Zodiaco. The artwork depicts the majestic and powerful lion, representing one of the twelve signs of the zodiac. Above it are medallions featuring portraits of Emperors Vitellius and Vespasian, adding a touch of Roman history to the composition. Intriguingly, below the lion is a legend associated with its birth as a constellation - it tells the tale of Artemis, the Greek goddess also known as Diane in Roman mythology. This connection between astrology and mythology adds depth to Falconetto's work. The fresco itself is rich in detail and color. It portrays various animals such as deer and camels amidst an agricultural landscape filled with wheat fields. A snake slithers through this scene, symbolizing both danger and rebirth. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this piece through her lens, preserving its historical significance for all art enthusiasts to appreciate. With its combination of mythological characters, astrological symbolism, and exquisite craftsmanship from the Renaissance era, this print truly embodies artistic excellence at its finest.
