Enea Vico as a Model for Domenico Brusasorzi in Palazzo Chiericati at Vicenza

Renzo Fontana
On the ceiling of the Sala del Firmamento in Palazzo Chiericati in Vicenza, Domenico Brusasorzi, in addition to the central panel with the chariots of the Sun and Moon and the signs of the Zodiac, painted many small numismatic figures in white on a black background. Traditionally, these figures are believed to have been copied directly, with some approximation, from ancient coins provided by the patrons. In reality, however, they reproduce, on a larger scale and very faithfully, the engravings made by Enea Vico for the Antonio Zantani's numismatic repertoire Omnium Caesarum verissimae imagines ex antiquis numismatis desumptae, edited in 1553 and 1554.
