Fall of Icarus
by GABBIANI, Anton Domenico, Red and white crayon, 430 x 365 mm
Anton Domenico Gabbiani painted three ceilings in the new rooms, built in 16184-89, of the Palazzo Medici Riccardi: the Allegory of the Fine Arts under the Protection of Wisdom and Nature; the Fall of Icarus; and the Triumph over Error. The present picture shows a preliminary drawing for the ceiling fresco.
