EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the fresco "The council of the Gods" painted by Giovanni Lanfranco in 1624-1625. The focal point of this image is Saturn, the god of time, who stands out amidst a gathering of mythological figures. Lanfranco's mastery is evident in his depiction of Saturn, with every intricate detail meticulously captured. The god exudes an aura of wisdom and authority as he holds a scythe, symbolizing the passage and control over time. Surrounding him are various other gods and goddesses from ancient Greek and Roman mythology. The composition is enriched by the presence of several animals, including a majestic peacock perched on Saturn's shoulder, adding to the sense of divine grandeur. The meeting takes place against a backdrop that seamlessly blends elements from both heaven and earth – clouds floating above while earthly landscapes unfold below. This piece exemplifies Baroque art at its finest, with its dramatic lighting and dynamic compositions. It transports viewers back to ancient times when paganism reigned supreme and myths shaped people's understanding of their world. Thanks to Frank Buffetrille's skillful photography, we can now appreciate this remarkable artwork up close. This print allows us to delve into Lanfranco's masterful brushstrokes while capturing the essence and beauty inherent in classical mythology.
