Description:
|
|
By 1506, if not earlier, Peruzzi was employed on the design and construction of a suburban villa for Agostino Chigi, on the newly opened Via della Lungara. The Sala di Galatea, which like the loggia was also originally open to the garden, is decorated with Peruzzi’s representation of the constellations of Chigi’s horoscope (the sky and stars on the day Chigi was born) accompanied by a personification of Fame trumpeting his glory. On the walls are Peruzzi’s Gigantic Head, Sebastiano del Piombo’s Polyphemus (ca. 1512) and Raphael’s Galatea (ca. 1512), all portions of a cycle of the gods that was never completed, perhaps because the lower floor of the villa was subject to flooding.
