The Apotheosis of San Vitale is a drawing made in 1781. It's interesting because it was created during a time when artists were starting to explore new ways of expressing emotion. The fact that it's an allegory suggests that the artist was trying to convey a deeper meaning. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
