Hall of Troy, West Wall and Vault:
"Venus helps Enea"

Bottom
On the West sail it is Venus who helps her son Aeneas lying on the ground while Diomedes, with a large boulder in his hands, tries to pounce again on the wounded adversary. Apollo comes to the aid of Venus, who in turn was wounded by Diomedes, to take Aeneas away. Further up on the left there is a divinity wrapped in a halo of light within a dark cloud. In the lower panel, at the centre between the windows, Thetis delivers the new armor to Achilles" They are those weapons that Vulcan has just forged (in the panel on the Northern wall). Designed by Giulio Romano, both paintings are attributed to Fermo Ghisoni.
