Ferrara, Palazzo Costabili o Palazzo di Ludovico il Moro (oggi sede del Museo Archeologico Nazionale o di Spina), Aula Costabiliana o Sala del Tesoro, volta, affreschi cinquecenteschi di Benvenuto Tisi, detto il Garofalo: particolare con donna e bimbo. Lungo i lati del soffitto un ampia balconata da cui pendono tappeti orientali: una galleria di personaggi, molti dei quali con strumenti musicali, affacciati in maniera disinvolta a testimoniare con garbo e misura il loro amore per l arte, la musica e la poesia. In una suggestiva scenografia, oltre la balconata si apre un cielo turchino, su cui e strutturato un gazebo con rami carichi di frutta e tralci sospesi, annodati alla balaustra. La sala e un hortus conclusus, un giardino segreto voluto dal padrone di casa per i suoi importanti ospiti. Al centro dell apertura illusionistica sono un fastoso rosone in legno intagliato e dorato e una finta architettura che funge da copertura e al tempo stesso da decorazione. Tutt intorno corre un fregio a grottesche entro cui compaiono medaglioni con scene mitologiche e storie dell antica Roma.); Ghigo Roli; Italian, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning detail from the vault of the Hall of the Treasure in Palazzo Costabili, Ferrara, Italy. Painted by Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo in the 16th century, this fresco showcases an exquisite scene featuring a gentlewoman and a child. The ceiling of the hall is adorned with a large balcony where Oriental rugs hang gracefully. From this vantage point, an array of characters lean out, proudly displaying their love for arts, music, and poetry. The aristocracy of the time is elegantly portrayed through portraits that exude rare elegance. The overall composition creates an evocative scenography with its turquoise sky backdrop and a gazebo filled with branches laden with fruit knotted around the balustrade. This room serves as an hortus conclusus or secret garden designed to impress important guests. At the center of this illusionistic opening lies a magnificent carved and gilded wooden rosette along with architectural elements that serve both as coverings and decorations. Surrounding these central features are intricate grotesque friezes containing medallions depicting mythological scenes and stories from ancient Rome. This print offers viewers a glimpse into this opulent space within Palazzo Costabili, showcasing not only Garofalo's artistic prowess but also providing insight into the cultural interests and refined tastes of Italian nobility during that era.
