Fragment van plafondlijsten met figuren en ornamenten in de Venuskamer van het paleis van de groothertog van Toscane te Florence 1651 - 1704

This engraving by Dutch artist Barend de Bailliu depicts a fragment of the ceiling of the Venus Room in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence. The etching, dated between 1651-1704, showcases intricate details of the elaborate ornamentation. Two figures, likely representing mythological beings, flank a central oval containing a scene of two figures. De Bailliu's skill in representing the complexity of the room's ceiling highlights the Baroque era's fascination with decorative arts. This artwork is a valuable resource for understanding the grandeur of the Venus Room and the decorative practices of the period.
