About the piece

This 1743 masterpiece by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo exemplifies the lightness and brilliance of the Venetian Rococo style. Centered on the goddess Flora in her golden chariot, the composition flows with an effortless energy, moving between graceful nymphs, playful putti, and a meticulously rendered classical garden. Tiepolo's signature palette of clear blues and warm golds brings an airy, atmospheric quality to this sophisticated allegorical scene.
