A large renaissance agate intaglio. Mythological scene with Triptolemus and Ceres.


16th century.

28 x 40 x 8 mm.

Interesting allegorical scene depicting Triptolemus who received poppy flowers from Ceres; these flowers, distributed to farmers, produce a sweet sleep and a quiet rest. The female figure is also interpreted as the Night. After an intaglio by Valerio Belli. In this scene there is a column in the center, which divides the composition into two parts. On the left side, the farmers: one standing, one kneeling and one sitting, offering flowers. On the right, Ceres gives flowers to Triptolemus, who is depicted naked with a cloak. The work is executed on a beautiful, very large three-layered agate, with great technical and artistic mastery. Signs of wear.
