Description:
|
|
Away from the main villa, in the gardens of Villa Medici, is the separate pavilion (studiolo) of Cardinal Ferdinand de Medici (1549-1609), a masterpiece of Late Mannerism, decorated by Jacopo Zucchi (1576-1577) with frescoes in the classic 'grotesque' (or grottoesque) style with motifs that are derived from ancient Roman frescos found in the Domus Aurea. There are two rooms, this is called the "Aurora Room", and besides the grotesque motifs also features allegories of the seasons and several views of the Villa Medici and grounds. The frescoes had been hidden under whitewash and were only rediscovered by Géraldine Albers in 1985. They were restored in 2011. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
