#0, In Search of Frescoes by Varotari's
Posted by Catherine Navaroli Bastian on 05-Nov-00 at 06:32 PM
Please help. I am a self taught painter. I am now trying to learn all about frescoes painting, but using oil sticks (for now). In the Neiman Marcus August catalog isse of 2000, you will find a frescoes ceiling painted by an artis. This frescoe mural ceiling is a scene that Varotari painted in The Villa Emo in 1559. I would like to know as to where I can locate a picture of the ornamental grotesque images. Is there another website or a book that I can actually reference to, so that I can see his frescoes. I have been to my libraries (having only limited books available), I've had no luck.
The frescoes painted by Varotari on the ceiling of Villa Emo is precisely what I am in search of.

My home address is
3053 Courtfield Drive
Rochester Hills, MI 48309
USA

P.S. I love the truefrescoe.com website. Awesome!
thanks!
Cathy
