Synopsis
Time with a scythe to cut short time unveils Truth who holds the sun in her left hand while old Lies tumbles from a cloud. This allegory extols the virtues of Tiepolo’s patron, a prominent lawyer, who commissioned it for the ceiling of a vast hall. Tiepolo was a master of Venetian 18th century Rococo ceiling painting.
