“Peace and War”
This is another painting by Pompeo Girolamo Batoni. This picture is relevant to the painting I chose to do my Unit 4 project on because it further shows the style of painting that was most popular during the time period. The painting “Peace and War” also references Roman mythology. In this painting Roman gods are used to compare peace and war.

“Time Unveiling Truth”
This is a painting by the Italian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo that was painted during the same time period as Pompeo Girolamo Batoni. This painting follows the theme of the time period of using paintings as allegories. It uses personification to represent none human things like in the “Triumph of Venice”. The painting also uses objects to represent other themes present in the painting.

“Achilles and the Centaur Chiron”
This is another of Pompeo Girolamo Batoni’s famous paintings. Although this piece was painted at a later time, it still possess some of Batoni’s and the Golden Age of Venice’s common traits in artworks. This painting uses Roman mythology to express Italian culture. The media is also oil on canvas which was the popular way of doing paintings at the time.

“The School of Athens”
This is a piece by Anton Raphael Mengs after the artist Raphael. This painting is relevant to “The Triumph of Venice” because it is also a piece of neoclassical art which is what Batoni was most known for. Neoclassicism is the taking inspiration from “classic art” and culture of Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome and creating new pieces of visual art, literature, theatre, music, and architecture. Meng’s was also considered Batoni’s greatest rival, so I feel like comparing the two’s styles is important in understanding neoclassicism.

“Oath of the Horatii”
This is a painting by the French artist Jacques-Louis David. The painting is depicting a scene from Roman legend, the fighting between the two cities of Rome and Alba Longa. Its theme is the self-sacrifice for one’s country and patriotism. This painting relates to “The Triumph of Venice” because it is another piece of neoclassicism, thus expressing Ancient Roman culture and legends. This particular piece became one of the best known paintings in the neoclassical style.
