Description: | IU PRINT HAYE, Charles de la; (French; b. 1641) AFTER PIETRO DA CORTONA (Pietro Berrettini); (Italian; 1596-1669) Pietro da Cortona was commissioned by Grand Duke Ferdinand II to decorate a number of rooms in the Pitti Palace, Florence. The rooms were dedicated to five planetary deities and used as royal presence chambers by the grand Duke. The Sala di Giove is identified as the "audience Room of His Serene Highness". The Sala di Venere was a waiting room. The 19 prints from the Essex Collection representing Pietro da Cortona's fresco work in the Planetary Rooms are mainly representing the lunettes of the Sala di Giove and the Sala di Venere, as well as their ceilings. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | BELLEPHORON : ESSEX : PEGASUS : VOLUME : BAROQUE : PITTI PALACE : SALA DI GIOVE : FRESCO : MYTHOLOGY : GREEK HERO : SET : PLANETARY ROOM : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
