Containing works by Caraglio, Bonasone, Master of the Die, Vico, Giorgio Ghisi and Diana Scultori. This engraving records a fresco by Polidoro on a house at the Chiavica di Sant Lucia mentioned by Vasari in his life of Polidoro 'sul canto alla chiavica per andare a Corte Savella'. He lists a facciata (now lost ?) with Cloelia crossing the Tiber and a scene of sacrifice. Cloelia was among a group of virgins given as hostages to Porsenna the Etruscan king. Her escape on horseback across the Tiber was remembered in Republican and Imperial times as an inspiring example, and there was a statue to her in the Via Sacra mentioned by Pliny and Dionysos of Halicarnasos. | 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: | MYTHOLOGY : CLELIA : TIBER : HOSTAGE : ESCAPE : ROMAN : PORSENNA : ROMAN HISTORY : | 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 |
