行星与大陆的寓言

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 643

这幅画是提埃波罗所作规模最大也最光彩夺目的一幅油画草图，其中描绘出太阳神阿波罗正要开始他横穿天空的每日行程。围绕在太阳神身边的众神象征行星，四边的寓言人物象征大陆。1752年 4 月 20 日，提埃波罗将这幅初步图样呈现给伍兹堡亲王主教卡尔·菲利浦·凡·格莱芬克劳，提议如此装饰主教皇宫的大楼梯间天花板，后来完成的天顶画是这位艺术家最伟大的成就。四角上以灰色装饰法描绘的人物后来由装饰家兼雕塑家安东尼奥·波士在天花板上以灰泥塑成。
