Our painting is a repeat of the composition in the Louvre (560 x 330 cm). This large format was originally part of the ceiling of the Council of Ten room in the Ducal Palace in Venice ("Palazzo dei Dogi"), commissioned by the Republic of Venice and painted in 1553-1554. With this great ceiling decoration, the twenty-five-year-old Veronese established himself as a master to be reckoned with. In 1787, the painting was removed by Napoleon's army and placed in the Louvre.
