Design for a Stage Set 1728 - 1795

This drawing, created by Italian artist Carlo Zucchi the Younger between 1728 and 1795, is a design for a stage set. Zucchi's drawing depicts a grand hall featuring intricate classical architectural details, including columns, arches, and a coffered ceiling. The hall is adorned with numerous statues and other decorative elements, creating a sense of grandeur and opulence, characteristic of the Rococo period. This design, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the elaborate stage sets that were popular in 18th-century theater.
