The Building of the Trojan Horse
Artist: Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (Italian, 1727 - 1804)
Original Dimensions: 15 1/4" x 26 1/4"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (About 1760) "The Building of the Trojan Horse illustrates an episode from one of the most famous stories in Greek mythology – that of the Trojan War and fall of Troy. Soldiers in armour prepare for battle while workmen build the giant wooden horse in which Greek soldiers will hide, allowing them to secretly enter the city of Troy. Most labour tirelessly with hammers and chisels but one sits on a plank and raises a brush to paint the rump. The horse’s glossy coat, powerful pose and flowing mane give the impression that it is alive and moving. This is probably a sketch for Domenico’s monumental depiction of the same subject, painted in around 1773/4, now in the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. It has the characteristics of a preparatory design. It is a small-scale work with loosely applied paint, and Domenico was working out ideas as he went along, for example, making slight changes to the positions of some of the workers." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
