Aurora 1614

Guido Reni's "Aurora" (1614) is a masterful fresco depicting the Roman goddess of dawn as she rides her chariot across the sky. The painting, located in the Palazzo Pallavicini-Rospigliosi in Rome, showcases Reni's mastery of light and shadow, creating a dynamic and ethereal scene. Aurora, accompanied by the Hours, is depicted with radiant beauty, while the winged horse and a putto add a sense of movement and divine power to the composition. The fresco is a testament to the artist's talent and the enduring appeal of classical mythology.
