Allegorical Figure Representing Asia Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo Italian This work is part of a series of allegorical representations of the Four Continents that originally served as overdoors. Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo based his figure of Asia on symbols codified in Cesare Ripas Iconologia (1593): the palm branch and camel. Like representations of saints or other figures that artists aimed to identify, these attributes were important signals to historical audiences, though in the case of the Four Continents, they eventually fed into racialized stereotypes. Like the other large-scale allegorical frescoes in this gallery, this panel was probably detached around 1900 from the Palazzo Valle Marchesini Sala in Vicenza..
