The Sagredo family had rooms of their intimate mezzanine redecorated in 1718 after a fire. Assisted by his pupil Carpoforo Mazzetti Tencalla, the artist created for various rooms an ensemble of polychrome stucco that features exotic animals rendered practically life-size, along with birds, trophies, and arabesques. A brightly coloured greenish-blue cloth is draped all around. The bedroom, consisting of an antechamber with a bed alcove, is displayed in the metropolitan Museum in New York. In design and workmanship, it is one of the finest of its period. ## Related artworks - [Entrance hall]() - [Fame with the Merati Family Coat of Arms]() - [Interior decoration \(detail\)]() - [Monochromes framed by stucco]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
