Allegorical Figure Representing Geometry 1760

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's "Allegorical Figure Representing Geometry" (1760) depicts a classical, draped female figure standing on a pedestal. The figure is positioned between two large, classical columns that frame the composition. The work evokes the grandeur of ancient Roman architecture and alludes to the enduring power of classical knowledge, making it a compelling example of the artist's mastery of Baroque and Rococo styles.
