Description
The Renaissance period saw a dramatic transformation in the way that artists worked, with a new-found appreciation for creativity pushing artistic boundaries. Drawing became central to this development, evolving from an essential tool of workshop practice to an exciting art form in its own right.
Inspired by the exhibition held by the Royal Collection, this collection of souvenirs explore the diversity and accomplishment of drawing across Italy between 1450 and 1600.
Crafted using a PEFC and FSC sourced plywood, this keepsake keyring depicts Juno visiting Aeolus and Neptune by Perino del Vaga circ. 1501-1547. Originally inspired by a medal design, the subject derives from Virgil's Aeneid. On the right Juno, queen of the gods, instructs the wind god, Aeolus, to create a tempest to disrupt the Trojan hero Aeneas’s voyage to Carthage. Juno’s action angers Neptune (left), god of the sea, prompting him to calm the storm.
