"Apotheosis of a Warrior" is a pen and brown wash drawing by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City. The artwork depicts a warrior being carried to heaven by an angel, accompanied by a lion. The dynamism of the figures and the use of light and shadow are characteristic of Tiepolo's style, highlighting his mastery of draftsmanship. This drawing is a study for a larger fresco, showcasing Tiepolo's preparatory process for his monumental works.
