#Art #ItalianArt #MedievalArt Detail from the Allegory of April, Hall of the Months, Palazzo Schifanoia, Ferrara, Italy, 1469. This part of the fresco depicts "Francesco del Cossa, Duke Borso with his courtiers and Scocola. The court fool, shown much shorter and with stumpier legs than those around him, is further distinguished by his shaved head and the protruding dog's snout, which renders a phallic pun at his expense." --Robin O'Bryan
