jan 1, 1470 - Palazzo Schifanoia, Ferrara by Cosimo Tura

Description:

The name "Schifanoia" is thought to originate from "schivar la noia" meaning literally to "escape from boredom"

There, in the Salone dei Mesi ("Hall of the Months"), Cosimo Tura's purely pagan cycle of the months presents the cycle of the year as an allegorical pageant with the appropriate Olympian gods presiding on their fanciful cars drawn by the beasts proper to each deity, with appropriate personifications of the constellations of the zodiac.
