Nineteenth century Screen with grotesques Measures: (5) Oil on canvas, 158 x 185 cm The screen analyzed is made up of five panels, each divided into two panels decorated with elements of the natural world on the upper level and grotesque decorations on the lower level. The grotesque is a type of ornamentation often used in painting, sculpture and minor arts, for example in ceramics and tapestries, developed at the end of the 15th century. The five upper panels refer to as many famous Aesop's fables, i.e. the first panel depicts the fable of The frogs ask for a king, the second panel instead represents the roosters and the partridge, the third panel has as its protagonist the famous fable of the Hare and the tortoise, while the fourth The crow and the fox, while the last panel probably represents the episode of the Fox and the stork. The screen owes its name to its singular and ancient origin; after the discovery of these decorations in 1480 in Nero's Domus Aurea, a palace that had been buried for centuries, under the pretext of imitatio antiquitatis, they were re-proposed in contemporary palaces. The palace of Nero was visited by many explorers, who descended into it and had the impression of being inside a cave, which is why, as Benvenuto Cellini tells us, these particular decorations rediscovered there were called grotesque. The great success that the grotesques had is testified by Raphael's decorations in the Vatican...
