Publisher's NoteIn the spring of 1637 Pietro Berretini da Cortona began frescoing the walls of the Sala della Stufa in the grand-ducal apartments of the Pitti Palace in Florence. Although it was his first Medici commission, Cortona was already an artist of standing in Rome. His decorations for the Sala della Stufa and then for the five rooms each devoted to a planetary deity--Venus, Apollo, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn--became the admiration of his contemporaries, and have continued to delight spectators with their technical virtuosity and splendor.
