The Glorification of the Barbaro Family ca. 1750 Giovanni Battista Tiepolo Italian This canvas once decorated a ceiling in Palazzo Barbaro, located on the Grand Canal in Venice. The Barbaro were among the most illustrious Venetian families and the main allegorical figure of Valor accompanied by a lion alludes to them. Behind Valor, Fame blows a trumpet and holds an olive branch; behind the lion is Abundance with a cornucopia. At the lower left are Prudence, with a snake, and Nobility, holding a statuette of Minerva. Such complex allegories glorified the families of eighteenth-century Europe, equating their lives and lineages with that of the ancients and even the gods.
