Mannerist Mural of Exotic Animals

This Mannerist mural (c.1590) portrays a fantastical landscape of monkeys, birds, a rabbit, and a lioness with exaggerated features. Inspired by European bestiaries and colonial fascination with exotic nature, such imagery reflected both curiosity and the imagined mastery over distant lands and their untamed creatures.
