Grotesques

c. 1588
Fresco
Salone, Rocca Meli Lupi, Soragna

Another example of the later grotesques is in Soragna. Just how much this genre was appreciated can be seen from the fact that rooms and even large halls were entirely decorated with grotesques - mostly in combination with fantastic landscapes.

Soragna is a town in the province of Parma. The Rocca (fortress) was built in 1385 by the Marchesi Bonifacio and Antonio Lupi.
