Stufetta di Diana e Atteone, Renaissance fresco in Rocca Sanvitale, Italy
The vault contains fourteen lunette sections adorned with a pergola housing twelve cherubs holding garlands of fruits and flowers against a sky background.
Francesco Mazzola, known as Parmigianino, painted this fresco between 1523 and 1524 for Count Galeazzo Sanvitale and his wife Paola Gonzaga at Fontanellato.
The fresco illustrates episodes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, depicting the myth of Diana and Actaeon through detailed narrative sequences across multiple walls.
The room maintains its original Renaissance decoration scheme, with the lower sections of walls presumably designed to accommodate tapestries during its active use.
A circular mirror in the ceiling bears the inscription 'respice finem,' connecting the mythological narrative to themes of destiny and divine justice.
