Geometry. Artist: Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (Italian, Venice 1696-1770 Madrid) and Workshop; and Girolamo Mengozzi (called Colonna) (Italian, Venetian, 1688-ca. 1766). Dimensions: 146 x 57 7/8 in. (370.8 x 147 cm). Date: 1760.Like the other frescoes in this gallery, this allegorical figure of Geometry, identified by the inscription on the base of the feigned statue, is from the Palazzo Valle-Marchesini-Sala in Vicenza. The simulated architecture, foreshortened from a viewing point in the center of the room, was carried out by a specialist in this type of work, Girolamo Mengozzi Colonna, who collaborated with Tiepolo on a number of commissions. The frescoes were probably commissioned by Count Giorgio Marchesini, and their iconography may reflect his particular interest in Freemasonry. They were detached from the palace about 1900. A change is visible in the left arm, which was originally upright, holding a pair of dividers. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Gio
