BridalChamber
Hand-crafted in the beautiful harbour village of St Aubin in the island of Jersey, this piece is from the Arcane collection.
BridalChamber is inspired by the ceiling painted by Andrea Mantegna in St George’s Castle, Mantua, Italy.
This piece is hand crafted and mounted in a black, oak or gold finish frame that measures 17.3cm x 17.3cm. This one is best seen for its iridescent sparkle!
The original piece of art that inspired this can be found in the ‘Camera Picta’ (Painted Room), in the north-eastern part of St George’s Castle. It was painted by Andrea Mantegna between 1465 and 1474. Mantegna (~1431 – September 13, 1506) was an Italian painter and a student of Roman archaeology.
It is painted directly above the centre of the room. The oculus (circular opening to the sky) has putti and women around a balustrade in dramatically foreshortened perspective. The strong vertical axis created by the oculus locates the spectator at a single point in the centre of the room, the point from which the observer’s space blends with that of the frescoed figures. This is well worth a visit.
