Rome, Villa Farnesina, frescoes by various artists in the Sala di Galatea.
Rome, Villa Farnesina, frescoes by various artists in the Sala di Galatea. 
The Loggia of Galatea is frescoed by various artists. The first was Peruzzi, who in 1511 designed Agostino Chigi’s horoscope. In the winter of 1511-1512 Sebastiano del Piombo, one of the most talented artists from Venice, painted the mythological scenes, taken from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, in the lunettes. The last of them is a monochrome painting of a daringly foreshortened large head of a young man, previously attributed to Michelangelo thanks to a well-known legend. It was said that he drew it as a competitive “prank” while he was waiting for the commissioned artist, Raphael, who was momentarily absent.
The Villa Farnesina is a Renaissance suburban villa in the Via della Lungara, in the district of Trastevere in Rome. 
The villa was built for Agostino Chigi, a rich Sienese banker and the treasurer of Pope Julius II. Between 1506–1510, the Sienese artist and pupil of Bramante, Baldassarre Peruzzi, aided perhaps by Giuliano da Sangallo, designed and erected the villa. The novelty of this suburban villa design can be discerned from its differences from that of a typical urban palazzo (palace). Renaissance palaces typically faced onto a street and were decorated versions of defensive castles: rectangular blocks with rusticated ground floors and enclosing a courtyard. This villa, intended to be an airy summer pavilion, presented a side towards the street and was given a U shaped plan with a five bay loggia between the arms. In the original arrangement, the main entrance was through the north facing loggia which was open. The villa became the property of the Farnese family in 1577 (hence the name of Farnesina).
