專家說明

Galliari was from a family of artists who moved to Milan to train with his brother, Bernardino (1707-1794). This drawing of a stage set was for the opera, Montezuma in Berlin first performed in 1755. It was about the conquest of Mexico and it was composed by Carl Heinrich Graun (1704-1759) and the libretto was by Frederick the Great (1712-1786), King of Prussia. The present composition was for Act I, Scene I of the opera and corresponds to the direction 'Three big roads lined with palm trees in the imperial garden'.
