About the piece

Painted in 1737 by the celebrated Italian master Pompeo Batoni, this work is a triumphant allegory of the city of Venice. The central figure sits regally atop a chariot drawn by winged lions—the symbol of Saint Mark—surrounded by a celestial and earthly host of gods and scholars, with the iconic Doge's Palace and Campanile visible in the background.
