EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bas-relief depicting the zodiac sign of Cancer in the Chapel of Planets within the magnificent Malatestiano Temple in Rimini.

The crab's presence against a backdrop of sea and mountains evokes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. In addition to its symbolic significance, this artwork also incorporates elements of landscape and transportation. A ship can be seen sailing on water nearby, further enhancing the scene's serene ambiance. The meticulous attention to detail in portraying arthropods like crabs highlights Di Duccio's expertise in zoology and zootechnics.
