EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a stunning fresco titled "Palazzina (Small Building), the third room or room of the Aeneid: 'Aeneas dreams of Mercury who orders him to leave'". Painted by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in 1756-57, this artwork is located at Villa Valmarana ai Nani in Vicenza, Italy. In this scene from Virgil's epic poem, Aeneas is depicted dreaming of Mercury, the messenger god. Mercury appears before him and commands him to leave his current location. The composition showcases Tiepolo's mastery of perspective and rococo style, with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the mythological narrative to life. The Palazzina itself serves as a magnificent backdrop for Tiepolo's fresco. Its architectural beauty adds depth and grandeur to the painting, emphasizing its importance within the villa. This baroque masterpiece not only highlights Tiepolo's artistic prowess but also pays homage to classical mythology. As we gaze upon this print by Ghigo Roli, we are transported back in time to witness Aeneas' encounter with Mercury firsthand. The interplay between light and shadow creates a sense of drama and mystery, intensifying our connection with the story being told. This artwork invites us into a world where gods interact with mortals, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. It reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with ancient myths and legends while showcasing Tiepolo's exceptional talent as an artist.
