Stanza Di Apollo 1540

"Stanza Di Apollo" is a fresco painted by Francesco Salviati, known as "Cecchino", in 1540 for the Palazzo Grimani di Santa Maria Formosa in Venice. The artwork features a central circular panel depicting Apollo in his chariot drawn by four horses. The panel is surrounded by eight smaller panels, each containing a scene from Greek mythology. The central panel is encircled by an intricate decorative border, while the panels are set against a red background with elaborate gold and white framing. The painting, a beautiful example of the Mannerist style, is a visual feast of intricate detail and skillful rendering.
