# Classical Figures Conducting an Antique Rite [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TIEPOLO, Giovanni Domenico]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Fresco transferred to canvas, laid down on panel, 177 x 114 cm ## Commentary Although this grisaille fresco was formerly attributed to Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, it is typical of the monochrome fresco decorations by his son, Giovanni Domenico. Viewed in isolation, the narrative subject of the painting is not immediately apparent, suggesting it once formed part of a larger series. ## Related artworks - [Ball in the Country]() - [Carnival Scene \(The Minuet\)]() - [Cavalcade of the Pulcinellas]() - [Ceiling tondo]() - [Charlatan]() - [Charlatan]() - [Christ and the Adulteress]() - [Exotic Figures]() - [Faith]() - [Falcon Pursuing a Flock of Finches]() - [Family Meal \(detail\)]() - [Family Meal]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
