The Glorification of the Barbaro Family

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo’s “The Glorification of the Barbaro Family” is an oil on canvas from around 1750. The canvas is an irregular oval, measuring 96 by 183 3/4 inches. New York, ca. 1750.

The painting was donated anonymously to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in memory of Oliver H. Payne. The canvas size suggests it was intended for a specific architectural setting.

Tiepolo painted not only in his native Italy but also in Germany and Spain. He is recognized for his work in the Rococo style.
