I was drawn to this painting for many reasons.The first reason is because of it's size. A painting of that size can automatically captivate an audience. There were so many details to look at. Certain parts of the painting take a second to notice because they are light in color and seem to blend in easily with the background making them easy to miss.It's a strange scene to intepret just because there seems to be so much going on in the painting. The colors are light and are relatively in the same color palette except for the blue gown that the woman is wearing. The question that I ask myself is, did Tiepolo do this purposely to draw our attention to what the woman is doing? Even if the answer is yes it is still hard to determine what she may be doing. Does she represent ignorance? The others in the painting are higher than she is and seem to be more at peace. Do they represent virtue and nobility? Art has it's way of making us look at paintings from different persepectives until we are able to form our own conclusion. Whether it matches the intention of the artist, we may never know.
