Post lot text
MARCO CARLONI, THE YOUTH AND EDUCATION OF DIONYSUS IN INDIA AND THE YOUTH AND EDUCATION OF DIONYSUS, A PAIR, GOUACHE
A complete copy of this album is kept in the Louvre Museum. The two present plates are under the two inventory numbers 18119, 18121 (M.-N. Pinot de Villechénon, DOMUS AUREA, Les fresques du palais néorien à traves un album, gouaché du Louvre, Milan, 1988, nos. 11, 13).
They depict scenes copied from the murals of Nero’s Golden House or Domus Aurea in Rome, which were buried underground after his reign (54-68 ce). Rediscovered during the Renaissance, the murals were subjects of great interest to draftsmen and engravers alike, who studied their depiction of mythological, religious and historical themes (M.-N. Pinot de Villechénon, « Un album de dessins d’antiques au Louvre: Marco Carloni et les peintures de la Domus Aurea », Revue de l’Art, no. 14, 1971, pgs. 86-92).
