Description:
|
|
In the Sala delle Prospettive on the upper story of the Villa Farnesina, Peruzzi revived illusionistic Classical techniques of mural painting. The perspective was planned to function correctly when the observer is standing toward the left of the room. Peruzzi has designed a splendid architecture of dark, veined marble piers and columns with gilded capitals that incorporates the actual veined marble door frames in the room. The frescoed architecture is so precisely painted that it is almost impossible to distinguish where the real marble ends and the illusion begins. Through the lofty columns one looks out to a painted terrace that opens onto a continuous fictive landscape showing some of the major sites of ancient Rome. Vasari took Titian to see the work and reported that he was amazed 'and could not believe that it was really just a painting'. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
