The Triumph of Wisdom is a 1750 ink by Bartolomeo Tarsia, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is called The Triumph of Wisdom. It's an allegory, which means it's a picture that tells a story using symbols. The artist, Bartolomeo Tarsia, made it around 1750. It's drawn with brown ink, gray and brown wash, and white heightening over black chalk. The paper is laid paper, and the whole thing is squared for transfer in black chalk. That means the artist planned to make another version of it, maybe on a bigger scale or in a different medium. If you like this kind of art, you might want to look up more about the Baroque movement.
