# Mondo Novo [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TIEPOLO, Giovanni Domenico]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary This scene is on the wall of the room of Carnival Scenes in the Foresteria of the Villa Valmarana. Mondo Novo, a kind of panopticon in which one could view pictures of exotic worlds, was part of Venice's Carnival. What we see is not the diorama inside but the colourful crowd waiting outside, eagerly pressing up to the entrance. ## Related artworks - [Ball in the Country]() - [Carnival Scene \(The Minuet\)]() - [Cavalcade of the Pulcinellas]() - [Ceiling tondo]() - [Charlatan]() - [Charlatan]() - [Christ and the Adulteress]() - [Classical Figures Conducting an Antique Rite]() - [Exotic Figures]() - [Faith]() - [Falcon Pursuing a Flock of Finches]() - [Family Meal \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
