About the Item
This rare and fascinating series of 10 ceiling tablets, painted in tempera on poplar wood, represents a remarkable example of 15th-century Lombard decorative art.
Originating from a house-palace in Cremona, these works stand out for their exceptional pictorial quality and vivid iconography celebrating the fantastic and imaginative world of the period.
Each tablet has a slight concave shape, a detail that accentuates its visual depth and decorative effect.
The depiction of fantastic animals and mythological creatures reflects the craftsmanship of local artisanship and the influence of medieval artistic traditions, blending symbolism and fantasy into a unique and evocative whole.
Each tablet is equipped with an attachment that allows them to be displayed as a decorative wall element, making them perfect both as individual pieces and as a coordinated set.
Well-preserved, with an authentic patina that testifies to their historical value, they are ideal pieces for collectors and antique art enthusiasts.
