King David Playing the Harp
Church of Santa Maria del Rosario or Gesuati
DESCRIZIONE:This fresco completes the series of frescoes Tiepolo created for the nave of the church. The Dominicans chose the theme of King David playing the harp for the vault of the choir in reference to the psalms, which constituted the focus of their prayers there. The circular shields depict certain prophets in monochrome, and the Trinity on the back wall is in a similar style.
