The photo of the great Renaissance painting by Giorgio Vasari shows only one excerpt (a large sea turtle in the right arm, a sail on the left). But it served as a template for order work in fresco technology ("Search: Oberdörfer & Nitsch"). The original adorns an entire wall in the "Hall of the Elements" of the Palazzo Vecchio (Florence). There are also further turtle motifs in ceiling paintings and even in the ground. The artist was court painter, architect, enthusiastic art collector and is considered the "father of art history". See also small pottery work under "Search: Festina Lente".
