1001 NIGHTS

In 1914 Zecchin was commissioned to paint a series of a dozen canvases making a 30 metre design for the Dining room of the Hotel Terminus in Venice.  They depict the procession of Aladdin and his fabulous, gift-bearing entourage of eastern princes and princesses, arriving to seek the hand of the Sultan’s daughter.  The panels are now scattered between various private and public collections.  This design forms part of one of those panels.
