The Mandarin's Procession
by URBANI, Andrea, Fresco
In the Chinese Room Urbani painted scenes depicting The Judgment of the Mandarin and The Mandarin’s Procession. The scenes are set within frames made up of faux marble and open metalwork that “break through” the actual walls, creating a faux Eastern-style pavilion that opens into the surrounding space and also extends to the ceiling and the short walls.
The Mandarin’s Procession shows the figure of the Mandarin riding in triumph on an elephant.
