EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a book illustration of a Renaissance theatre stage, offering us a glimpse into the rich history and artistry of this era. The set depicted in the image was ingeniously designed by Sebastiano Serlio, an accomplished stage builder, and is featured in his renowned publication "Il Secondo Libro di Prospettiva" or "De Architettura" which saw its release in 1545. What makes this particular illustration even more fascinating is that it serves as one piece of a larger puzzle being assembled through the THEATRON project. Spearheaded by Professor Beacham from Warwick University in England, this ambitious endeavor aims to reconstruct 30 historically significant European theatres and stages as three-dimensional virtual reality computer models. The fusion of ancient archaeology, artistry, and cutting-edge technology allows us to step back in time and experience these magnificent theatrical spaces like never before. By immersing ourselves within these virtual reality models, we can gain invaluable insights into the architectural marvels that once graced Renaissance stages. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing image captured by Science Photo Library, let our imaginations transport us to an era where grandeur met creativity on the theatrical platform. Let us appreciate not only the intricate details of Serlio's masterpiece but also acknowledge the dedication behind projects like THEATRON that strive to preserve our cultural heritage for generations to come.
