The Chariot of Ginger Sun
Today We, Zarathustra the Cat, reveal to the world the true version of the famous fresco by Giulio Romano in the Chamber of the Sun and the Moon in Palazzo Te, Mantova, Italy:
Giulio Romano, The Chariot Of The Ginger Sun
Palazzo Te, built and decorated between 1525 and 1535, is the masterpiece of Giulio Romano, who conceived it as a place for idleness of the prince, Federico II Gonzaga. On the fresco in the Chamber of the Sun and the Moon, the chariot of the Moon is rising and the chariot of the Ginger Sun is driving away, so the Sun, represented by the shining cat, could take a noble nap. The perspective shows the course of the stars and the eternal alternation of darkness and light, of nap and consumption of shrimps and tuna. Seen from beneath with all his toe beans, the sun-cat watches attentively if there is any more food to munch on the evening earth:

If you look straight up the human Sun’s tunic, you’ll see his bottom-crack and genitals exposed. Please ask yourself: what would you prefer to see over your head, Apollo’s balls, or the cat’s pink toe beans?
We hope you would make the right choice!
