"Scene showing that those born under the sign of Leo in conjunction with the constellation of the Dog Star will face wild animals without fear, symbolised by the scene of a struggle between men and beasts" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giulio Romano, also known as Orbetto. Created in 1528, this work is part of the decorative program of the Camera dei Venti (Room of the Winds) in the Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy. Giulio Romano, a prominent pupil of Raphael, was an influential artist and architect of the High Renaissance and is known for his dynamic compositions and inventive iconography.

The fresco embodies the astrological belief that individuals born under the sign of Leo, particularly when the constellation is aligned with Sirius, the Dog Star, possess an innate bravery and can confront wild beasts without fear. Romano's depiction of this concept is both literal and allegorical, presenting a dramatic tableau where human figures engage in a fierce struggle with ferocious animals. This scene is part of a larger series that explores the influence of the stars and planets on human temperament and fate, a common theme in Renaissance art and philosophy.

The Camera dei Venti was commissioned by Federico II Gonzaga, the Duke of Mantua, as part of his grandiose building projects. Romano's work in the Palazzo del Te is celebrated for its Mannerist style, which is characterized by exaggerated proportions, unusual spatial compositions, and a departure from the harmonious ideals of the earlier Renaissance. The fresco in question exemplifies Romano's skill in creating dynamic scenes that capture the viewer's imagination and reflect the period's fascination with astrology, mythology, and the natural world.
