Original artwork description by The Metropolitan Museum of Art website (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
Aurora, in her chariot, is accompanied by the Hours and heralded by Apollo; Time is on the right. Also recognizable are Ceres, with a sheaf of wheat, and Bacchus, wearing a crown of vine leaves. The sketch may have been presented as a proposal by Tiepolo for the decoration of a ceiling in the Palacio Real in Madrid. Tiepolo was summoned to Spain in 1762 to decorate the throne room; a ceiling on this theme was painted in the queen's bedroom in 1763 by the artist's German rival, Anton Raphael Mengs.

At the same time, the tone of the printed materials, as well as the printing might diverge to a certain extent from the presentation on your screen. Depending on your settings of your screen and the condition of the surface, not all colors will be printed as exactly as the digital version depicted here. Because our fine art prints are processed and printed by hand, there may as well be slight differences in the size and exact position of the motif.
