DESCRIPTION: MUSEUM MASTERPIECE: AURORA (THE DAWN). Lion Ailè Art is glad to prose you a wonderful and majestic painting for workmanship and pictorial quality depicting, Aurora (The Dawn). Aurora is the Latin word for dawn, the goddess of dawn in Roman mythology and Latin poetry. In ancient Roman mythology Aurora, goddess of the dawn, renews herself every morning and flies across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun. She has two siblings, a brother (Sol, the sun) and a sister (Luna, the moon). The painting represents an allegory of Dawn based on Guido Reni's Aurora. Although the subject of this painting was often taken to be Flora and Zephyr, it is in fact an allegory of Aurora (Dawn). Every single iconographic element actually corresponds to those on the famous Aurora, which Guido Reni painted between 1612 and 1614 in the Casino of the palace of Cardinal Scipione Borghese on the Quirinal in Rome (today Palazzo Rospigliosi-Pallavicini). On both, Reni?s fresco and our painting, Aurora is moving from left to right and scattering flowers on the ground, whose horizon we see at the lower right. Aurora is accompanied by a putto carrying a little torch. We show you a sublime and refined mythological reinterpretation of the homonymous painting by Giovanni Andrea Carlone (1639 ? 1697).
