Abstract
Francesco Colonna in the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (in English “Poliphilo’s Strife of Love in a Dream”, a romance printed in Venice in 1499), gives a fresco of ancient culture through mythological stories connected to a tale revolves around the theme of love. The result is a view of a man that lives between 15th and 16th century, with his cultural background. In this paper, I illustrate two opposite interpretations of love represented in the xylography 50 that reproduces a carved relief on the Leda’s chariot.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
