L'anticamera maggiore che ci introduce negli appartamenti della Duchessa Maria Giovanna Battista di Savoia Nemours prende il nome di sala di Efigenia per il soggetto del fregio affrescato.I lavori di restauro e consolidamento in corso alla Reggia di Venaria hanno recentemente riportato alla luce una preziosa serie di affreschi nei fregi della sala a mezzanotte adiacente alla Sala di Diana. Si tratta, nello specifico, di un intero ciclo di dipinti databile alla seconda metà del Seicento (dunque coevo a quelli già noti delle sale limitrofe) suddiviso in dodici quadri ripartiti nei quattro lati della sala, raffiguranti con ogni probabilità il mito di Ifigenia. La fascia decorativa era occultata da una volta realizzata presumibilmente agli inizi dell'Ottocento per ragioni di consolidamento statico, che aveva comportato lo smantellamento dell'originario soffitto ligneo a cassettoni (ora in progetto di ripristino). Gli affreschi risultano in buono stato di conservazione e presentano colori luminosi e tratti nitidi di notevole interesse anche per gli addetti ai lavori che, grazie a questo ritrovamento, possono operare confronti e stabilire riscontri con un modello pressoché intatto rispetto a restauri successivi. Particolarmente affascinante e suggestiva, si svela dagli affreschi la figura di Diana, identificabile con certezza dalla mezzaluna raffigurata sul capo della dea. su due pareti tre grandi arazzi di manifattura fiamminga che raffigurano storie di Diana.

La Venaria Reale is very charming with various architects in that time we have worked and created a complex with different styles that blend together and with the current renovations that have restored the splendor of the past and we must also say that the recovery phase of all the buildings is not yet complete. Now that you can photograph freely inside, armed with a good wide angle, you can make really interesting shots.
Maurizio thanks for the visit and good day!
