Metaphysics by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and Workshop and Girolamo Mengozzi (called Colonna)
This allegorical figure of Metaphysics, identified by the inscription on the base, is from the Palazzo Valle-Marchesini-Sala in Vicenza. The simulated architecture, foreshortened from a viewing point in the center of the room, was carried out by a specialist in this sort of work, Girolamo Mengozzi, who collaborated with Tiepolo on a number of commissions. The frescoes date from the 1740s and were removed about 1900
