An allegorical image that alludes
to the City Government of Madrid's
gift of the mansion called the
“Queen's Casino” to Queen Isabel de
Braganza on the occasion of her
wedding to King Fernando VII
(1784-1833) in 1816.
This work was inspired by the
compositions of Corrado Giaquinto's
frescos for Madrid's Royal Palace
and was painted to decorate the
ceiling of the main salon of the
mansion itself, although it was not
installed there until the building
was completely remodeled in 1818.
