Description:
|
|
Commissioned by Federico II Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua. The fresco represents the chariot of the sun, driven by Apollo, sinking among the clouds at dusk, while the chariot of the moon, driven by Diana, is just beginning its journey across the sky. The artist painted the scene with a dizzying perspectival foreshortening that allowed him to give the image an erotic overtone. The carved stucco ceiling is elaborately decorated with a "net" vault 192 diamond-shaped panels, each with a bas-relief figure inside against a blue ground. The ceiling was restored in 2010.
