View of a Large Renaissance Palace (II)

by URBANI, Andrea, Fresco

The decoration of the portego is limited to the walls, on which there are three large landscapes set within ornate, faux architectural settings, also designed by Urbani. The west wall contains View of a Villa with a Pool and Landscape with Waterfall, while the opposite wall has View of a Large Renaissance Palace, divided into two parts by the staircase door. In the centre foreground of each landscape, on a trompe-l’oeil pedestal, is a faux-bronze statuary group representing the struggle between Good and Evil.
