EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bartolomeo di Mariano Traballesi's masterpiece, "Danae" painted in 1572. The painting, created with oil on slate, is housed in the Palazzo Vecchio (Palazzo della Signoria) in Florence, Italy. Captured by the talented photographer Raffaello Bencini, this image beautifully captures the essence of Traballesi's work. In this stunning piece of art, we see Danae depicted as a mother figure to Perseus. She is shown imprisoned within a bronze tower and surrounded by sturdy walls. As she gazes upward with anticipation and vulnerability, bolts of lightning symbolizing Zeus' shower of gold rain down upon her. Traballesi's Mannerist style shines through in his attention to detail and intricate brushwork. The composition evokes a sense of drama and tension as Danae awaits her fate at the hands of Acrisius in Argos. The painting was originally commissioned for Francesco I de' Medici's Studiolo di Francesco I - a private study where he would contemplate matters relating to science and philosophy. This print not only captures the beauty of Traballesi's artwork but also serves as a testament to its historical significance. It allows us to appreciate the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such an extraordinary piece that has stood the test of time.
