About Artwork: (ca. 1751–52) "Tiepolo made this oil sketch in preparation for a fresco in an elaborately stuccoed and gilded reception room completed in 1752 for the prince‑bishop’s palace in Würzburg, present-day Germany. It represents an event in the city’s history that helped to celebrate and legitimize the region’s rulers: in 1168, Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa gave Harold of Hochheim, Bishop of Würzburg, the title of Duke of Franconia." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
