The Entourage of Cleopatra, 1746-47. Artist: Giovanni Battista Tiepolo

The Entourage of Cleopatra, 1746-47. One of the most important commissions carried out by Tiepolo in the 1740s was, without a doubt, the decoration of the Palazzo Labia in Venice. Tiepolo's scenes, The Meeting of Anthony and Cleopatra and The Banquet of Cleopatra, are staged within an illusory architecture, the scenic framework lending them a theatrical character. The two female servants with the dog are typical secondary figures, used time and again by Tiepolo in numerous works to enrich the main action

Mezzetin, 1718-1720. Artist: Jean-Antoine Watteau

Mezzetin (half-measure), 1718-1720. Mezzetin, a stock character of the commedia dell'arte, the improvisational theater form of Italian origin, was an amorous valet who frequently engaged in the pursuit of unrequited love. Here he is shown playing the guitar before a garden in which a young woman - perhaps a statue, perhaps the painting of a statue on a stage set - stands with her back turned, presumably rejecting his romantic entreaties. From the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, U.S.A
