Description

This example of crocodile comes from the Cabinet of Natural Sciences of the Diocesan Seminary, in which it is probably arrived, after several passages, from the Wunderkammer of the Gonzaga Palace. Its location at the Museum is accompanied by the gigantography of the inside of the sanctuary of the Graces, with the intention of suggesting its backgrund. To this are added other specimens around Mantua: the crocodile of the Graces, the one at the Gallery of the Metamorphoses in Palazzo Ducale, a smaller one at the naturalistic collections of Palazzo d'Arco and that of the Gymnasium in a Total of five.

The crocodile that hangs chained from the vault of the Sanctuary of the Graces wants to recall the possibility, for those who rely on God, to overcome the temptations (the animal was one of those exotic, for their monstrosity considered a symbol of the devil) and, like this, finds a connection with the armors because of the hardness and impenetrability of the skin.
