Well, first the jungle in there... (more in alt text) 🌿🏛️

This is the incredible ceiling of the foliage room of Palazzo Grimani in Venice. It has a story to tell of the jungles of this world (and the religious one). The website "Veneto Inside" says: "In the heart of the Castello district lies one of the most spectacular Renaissance buildings in Venice: Palazzo Grimani. Acquired at the beginning of the 1500s by Doge Antonio for his children, the palace was then enlarged and renovated by the Doge's grandson, Giovanni, the Patriarch of Aquileia (1506- 1593). (...) Giovanni Grimaldi was definitely one of the greatest representatives of the Renaissance culture in Venice: the palace was enlarged and decorated in order to accommodate his amazing collection of Greek and Roman marbles! The ecclesiastical career of the patriarch suffered a meltdown in 1546 because of an accusation of heresy, from which he had to defend himself in Rome and at the Council of Trent. Despite being found innocent, Grimani failed to get nominated as cardinal which he strongly wanted (he even had a portrait of himself made wearing cardinal's clothes!). This episode, which anguished him until his death, is illustrated in one of the most beautiful rooms of his palace, the foliated room. Decorated by the artist Camillo Mantovano around 1660s, it has an incredible frescoed ceiling with a thick forest where birds and plants are depicted (including 'exotic' species just arrived from the New World, such as tobacco and maize). The lunettes represent animals and mottos in Latin: these are rebuses that allude to his troubled trial for heresy and reiterate his innocence and his faithfulness to the church of Rome."

A Flirty Jesus? The intense gaze of Christ in Luca Giordano’s newly restored ‘Samaritan Woman at the Well’ at @PalazzoGrimani captivated & educated me. This Baroque masterpiece just joined the permanent collection in Venice. New blog deep-dive-> venetiancat.blogspot.com/2026/01/a-fl...
