_Tiepolo_ (Venetian: 1692-1769). _See 1192, 1193._
It is mentioned in the account of Tiepolo (under Nos. 1192, 1193)
that he executed wall-decorations in the Royal Palace, formerly the
episcopal residence, at Wurzburg. The present picture is almost the
same in composition as one of those. The subject--the marriage of
Frederick Barbarossa in 1156, to Beatrix, daughter of the Count of
Burgundy--lends itself well to Tiepolo's "feeling for splendour," and
swift mastery of decorative effect. The Imperial banner, emblazoned
with the black eagle, is borne by a warrior. The bishops of Wurzburg
were princes of the Empire.
