Step into the world of Bartolomeo Crivellari, a masterful artist who captured elegance and mythological tales in his works. In Plate 6, we witness a group of exquisitely dressed individuals engrossed in playing the harp and guitar, transporting us to a bygone era between 1740-68. The intensity continues with Ulysses driving a burning stake into Polyphemus' eye in Plate 6, painted in 1756. This depiction showcases Crivellari's ability to bring ancient stories to life. Moving on to Plate 1, we are treated to a cross-section of the Hall of the Institute of Bologna, providing us with an architectural marvel created by this talented artist. In contrast, Plate 7 presents us with the image of Polyphemus guarding his cavern while blinded – an intriguing mix of strength and vulnerability. Plate 27 takes us back to Ulysses' journey as he is received by Alcinous king and Queen Areta after escaping treacherous waters. Created collaboratively by Crivellari and Gabriel Soderling in 1756, this piece captures both triumph and relief. The Hall's cross-section reappears in Plate 2 from another perspective but still showcasing Crivellari's attention to detail. In Plate 26, Ulysses finds salvation on a raft aided by Leucothea – an enchanting portrayal that leaves viewers captivated. Intrigue deepens further as we encounter Ulysses's companions stealing sacred oxen from Apollo himself in Plate 24 – yet another testament to Crivellari's storytelling prowess alongside Gabriel Soderling. Plates such as number 22 present two veiled nude figures that evoke mystery while plate numbers19 and18 offer unique perspectives on figures seen from behind - demonstrating Crivellari’s versatility across subjects.
