GIOVANNI DOMENICO TIEPOLO. The Glorification of the Giustiniani Family

The Glorification of the Giustiniani Family. Artist: Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (Italian, Venice 1727-1804 Venice). Dimensions: 46 x 32 1/2 in. (116.8 x 82.6 cm). Date: 1783. The present model is for a ceiling of the ducal palace in Genoa (destroyed). At the top of the staircase Jacopo Giustiniani kneels before a personification of the Ligurian Republic. A female in the left corner represents the island of Chios; she holds a scroll with the initials V.I. and 1562, in reference to a sixteenth-century governor of the island, Vincenzo Giustiniani. Figures in oriental dress at right allude to the commercial enterprises of the Giustiniani in Asia Minor.
