EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Sala dei Cavalli, a remarkable room in Palazzo del Te, Mantua, Italy. The focal point of the image is an exquisite portrait of Dario, a majestic horse hailing from the stables of Ludovico Gonzaga III. Painted by Giulio Romano and his workshop in 1528, this fresco captures the essence and beauty of this dappled grey steed. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring as every brushstroke brings out the grace and strength of Dario. Set within an architectural niche adorned with a pelham bridle, this artwork exemplifies the Mannerist style prevalent during that era. The trompe l'oeil technique employed here adds depth and realism to the painting, making it appear almost three-dimensional. As we gaze upon this masterpiece through Raffaello Bencini's lens, we are transported back in time to witness Ludovico Gonzaga's love for equitation come alive on these walls. The Room of Horses truly comes alive with each stroke captured in this photograph. This print serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and equestrian admiration. It allows us to appreciate not only Romano's talent but also highlights the historical significance attached to these magnificent creatures who were once cherished companions of nobility. A true treasure preserved for generations to come; let us marvel at its beauty and immerse ourselves in its rich history without any commercial intent or
