Description:
|
|
After 1512, Raphael worked in fresco only for the popes and those closest to them. In the villa (now Villa Farnesina) built by the Tiber in Rome for the immensely wealthy banker Agostino Chigi, an intimate of both Popes Julius and Leo, Raphael painted the fresco of the Triumph of Galatea ca. 1512. As subject Raphael chose a verse from a poem by the Florentine Angelo Poliziano which describes how the clumsy giant Polyphemus sings a love song to the fair sea-nymph Galatea and how she rides across the waves in a chariot drawn by two dolphins, laughing at his uncouth song, accompanied by sea-gods and nymphs. The next (left) panel in the hall features Polyphemus, painted by Sebastiano del Piombo. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
