About the piece
Created by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo around 1760, this magnificent oil painting captures the legendary climax of the Trojan War. The composition is filled with rhythmic energy as a crowd of figures works together to move the monumental wooden horse, all rendered in the airy palette and fluid brushwork characteristic of late Venetian Rococo art.
