THE FRESCOES BY Giulio CARPIONI for the Pastor Fido camerino in Villa Caldogno (1646)

Speranza

These are beautiful things.

The villa was designed by Palladio.

It belonged, as the name indicates, to LOSCO CALDOGNO, a Venezian patrician.

The frescoes include:
Coronation of Nymph Amaryllis, winner of the kissing completion
Pursuit of Corsica by a satyr
The struggle between Erote and Anterote
The wounding of Dorinda, mistaken by a the shepherd SILVIO for one of his prey
OMNIA VINCIT AMOR
