Painted with enamels on three hinged wood boards. Made on 2010 by the master Mario Eremita. The technique allows to maintain thin thicknesses and multiple glazes to obtain effects of particular brilliance and brightness. The closed dimensions are cm 48 x 65, open cm 95 x 65. The artwork is inspired by Byzantine icons and the triptych of the “Garden of Earthly Delights” by Hieronymus Bosch and is suitable for display on furniture rather than hanging on the wall.
The theme is dedicated to Gerolamo Folengo better known by the pseudonymus of Teofilo Folengo, Merlin Coccajo, Merlin Cocai, Limerno Pitocco, italian poet born in Mantova on 8 november 1491 and died in Campese on 9 december 1544, exponent of macaronic poetry.
In particular, here is one of the most famous scenes taken from Baldus, a parody of chivalcric poems, in which the hero Baldus is fed the famous gnocchi by the muses. The infernal pumpkin appears in the background. Following are some images of the artwork and a short documentary that intends to expose the meanings contained in it and place the artwork in the time in which Folengo lived.
