Description

This painting is one of multiple ceiling paintings created by Paolo Veronese for the Room of the Council of Ten Palazzo Ducale, Venice. The government officials who met in this room had multiple responsibilities, including control over access to the Treasury of San Marco. This authority helps explain the representation of jewels in the painting, especially the importance of the Ducal Corno.
