About the work

This large sheet is the final study for Ferrari's ceiling decoration in the Galleria Dorata in Palazzo Carrega-Cataldi, in Genoa, which he completed in 1743-1744. The composition depicts a scene from Book I of Virgil's Aeneid, when the goddess Venus appreaches Jupited on Olympus to lament her son Aeneas's adversities.
