Note du spécialiste

This is a copy of a scene from Paolo Veronese’s (1528-1588) famous decorations for Andrea Palladio’s Villa di Maser, Veneto, commissioned by the Barbaro family around the 1560s. This particular subject is found on the ceiling of the Stanza del Cane and possibly shows Abundance being restrained by the figure of Discord, whilst Prudence watches on from the lower-left corner (for further discussion of the iconography, see R. Cocke, ‘Veronese and Daniele Barbaro: The Decoration of Villa Maser’, Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, XXXV, 1972, p. 237).
