Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
This item features a cast glass relief depicting a stylized human figure, possibly from a calendar cycle, adhered to a light-colored wooden plaque. The glass is slightly tinted and has a textured, somewhat uneven surface, with raised lines forming the figure's details. Small metal fasteners secure the glass to the wood. Inscriptions below the glass indicate "Ciclo dei Mesi", "Torre dell'Aquila", and "Castel del Buonconsiglio - Trento".
History
The inscriptions point to the "Cycle of the Months" art series, potentially originating from the Torre dell'Aquila (Eagle Tower) within Castel del Buonconsiglio in Trento, Italy. This castle houses renowned fresco cycles depicting the months, painted in the late medieval period.
Facts
The Torre dell'Aquila's frescoes are a significant example of medieval secular art. This glass relief likely draws inspiration from those historical depictions, reinterpreting them in a modern material and medium. Its provenance from Castel del Buonconsiglio adds historical and artistic context.
Value Fact
Items of this nature, especially those referencing historical Italian art and castles, can command interest from collectors of decorative arts and Italian cultural heritage. The value would depend on the artist's reputation, the era of creation, and the quality of the craftsmanship, with pieces linked to significant historical sites potentially fetching higher prices.
