Among the subjects represented were ‘favole di medea, che ringiovenisce il vecchio Esone’. The rejuvenation of Aeson, Jason’s father, is not the scene represented here; but the drawing may well represent some other episode in the story of Medea and Jason, as there is a fleece hung up in the portico of the temple on the right and the dragon may be its guardian. Even so, it is doubtful whether enough is known about Carletto’s drawing style to justify our attributing this drawing to him. In style and handling it is rather close to Paolo Veronese himself and my possibly be by his hand. Even if it is connected with the frieze in the dinning-hall of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, it is not necessarily by Carletto: for according to Boschini (Le ricche minere della pittura veneziana, Venice, 1674, p. 110) and Zanetti (Descrizione di tutte le pubbliche pittura della Città di Venezia…, Venice, 1732), the frieze was by Paolo Veronese. \r\n"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"people","id":"AAT24979"},{"text":"altar","id":"AAT3725"},{"text":"women","id":"AAT25943"},{"text":"Warrior","id":"x32435"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["DYCE.250"],"accessionNumberNum":"250","accessionNumberPrefix":"DYCE","accessionYear":null,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-16","recordCreationDate":"2009-09-14","availableToBook":false}}
