The Phaethon Legend: Lamenting Mother Earth
by ALBANI, Francesco, Fresco
This scene is on the west wall of the Galleria in the Palazzo Odescalchi Giustiniani, Bassano Romano.
Following the pattern of Raphael’s Sala di Constantino in the Vatican, the large wall paintings in the Galleria imitate wall hangings some with rich borders partially turned back in trompe l’oeil effects.
