Metaphysics. 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 Metaphysics, 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. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (Italian, Venice 1696-1770 Madrid) and Workshop. and Girolamo Meng
