"Scene showing that those born under the sign of Capricorn in conjunction with the constellation of Serpentarius or Ophiuchus will be snake charmers, symbolised by a vendor of theriac, an antidote against snakebite" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giulio Romano, also known as Orbetto. Created in 1528, this work is part of the decorative scheme in the Camera dei Venti (Room of the Winds) at the Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy. The fresco is a visual representation of astrological beliefs from the Renaissance period, intertwining the zodiac sign of Capricorn with the constellation of Serpentarius, known today as Ophiuchus.

In this scene, Romano illustrates the Renaissance fascination with astrology and its supposed influence on human destiny. The fresco depicts individuals born under the specific alignment of Capricorn and Serpentarius as snake charmers, a profession that was associated with wisdom, healing, and the mystical during the period. The inclusion of a theriac vendor, offering an antidote to snakebite, further emphasizes the theme of healing and protection, which were qualities attributed to those born under these celestial signs.

Giulio Romano, a prominent pupil of Raphael, was known for his inventive approach to art and for his contributions to the development of the Mannerist style. The Camera dei Venti frescoes are considered a significant example of his work in the Palazzo del Te, showcasing his skill in creating complex allegorical compositions that reflect the intellectual and cultural interests of his time.

This fresco is a testament to Romano's ability to blend artistic skill with the prevailing astrological and humanist ideas, creating a work that is both a visual delight and a reflection of the Renaissance zeitgeist. The piece remains an important part of the historical record, offering insight into the period's artistic practices and the broader cultural context in which it was created.
