Stories of Aeneas: Aeneas’s battle with Turnus, the marriage of Aeneas and Lavinia
Dello Delli | 15th century
Currently on display: Palazzo Farnese Civic Museums, Art Gallery
This example of a wedding chest pediment bears witness to the flourishing activity of Tuscan workshops in the mid-15th century, which produced such pieces for important weddings. Precious elements of the late Gothic style blend with an already classical aesthetic and with historical or mythological motifs.
