# Decoration of Cardinal Bibbiena's Loggetta [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GIOVANNI DA UDINE]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary The desire to revive not only the forms of ancient Roman architecture but also their decoration may help to explain the success of the grotesque paintings. In particular, Raphael and the specialists in his workshop, who mastered the genre completely, helped the grotesque style to spread quickly in Rome. In addition to the Vatican loggias, the Loggetta, Cardinal Bibbiena's Stufetta \(bathroom\) and the decoration of the garden loggia of the Villa Madama are particularly important. ## Related artworks - [Decoration of Cardinal Bibbiena's Loggetta]() - [Decoration of the Loggia di Raffaello \(detail\)]() - [Decoration of the Stufetta \(bathroom\) of Clement VII Stufetta]() - [Stucco Reliefs in a Pilaster]() - [Studies of Nuts]() - [Study of a Flying Sparrow]() - [Study of a Parrot and Other Birds]() - [Study of a Parrot]() - [Triumph of Bacchus \(detail\)]() - [Triumph of Bacchus]() - [Venus, Ceres and Juno]() - [View of the Loggia di Raffaello]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
