The superbly engraved plates by Carlo Cesio 1622 - 1682 reproduce the Palazzo Farnese frescoes that Annibale Carracci 1560 - 1609 began in 1597 and completed in 1608 just one year before his death. The frescoes were commissioned by Alessandro Farnese 1468-1549 later Pope Paul III ostensibly in honor of his niece's nuptials and located on the 'piano nobile' of the family's palace which today hosts the French Embassy in Rome. They depict "The Loves of the Gods" and were greatly admired at the time and were later considered to reflect a significant change in painting style away from sixteenth century Mannerism in anticipation of the development of Baroque and Classicism in Rome during the seventeenth century.<br /> "The important cycle of frescoes trompe-l'oeil and architectural framework known as quadratura that make up the barrel-vaulted ceiling of the gallery depict the 'Loves of the Gods' a sophisticated dialogue between the theme of love and allegorical subjects from antiquity."
