Alegoria dos planetas e dos continentes

1752
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 643
Neste esboço a óleo, o maior e o mais belo feito por Tiepolo, Apolo vai empreender sua travessia diária aos céus. As divindades que rodeiam o deus solar simbolizam os planetas e as figuras alegóricas nos quatro lados, os continentes. Tiepolo apresentou este esboço preliminar a Carl Philipp von Greiffenklau, o príncipe-bispo de Würzburg, em 20 de abril de 1752, como uma proposta para a decoração do grande teto da escada de Residenz considerada a maior conquista artística do pintor. As figuras de grisaille foram gravadas nos cantos do teto em estuque pelo escultor e decorador Antonio Bossi.
