Verified profile

Together with the four rectangular canvases of the Estense Gallery and the ovate of the collection of the Cassa di Risparmio di Mirandola, it was part of the rich decorative apparatus that adorned the ceiling of the Camerino dei libri di Cesare located on the ground floor of Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara, for the which Venturini received the payment in 1593. The last undertaking sponsored by the Este family before the transfer to Modena, it constituted a moment of rapid cultural growth in the Ferrara art scene which involved emerging personalities such as Scarsellino and the young Carraccis. The casual elegance of the pictorial figure and the verve of neo-mannerist spirit manage to get the better of the abstruse complication of allegory, to be deciphered as an allusion to the virtues of the prince and the advantageous effects of good governance.
