Theatrically clothed revellers and characters from the Commedia dell'arte parade across the piazza, with Miel's accomplished play of light highlighting the frenzied joy of their movements. Likely dating to the earlier part of Miel's career, this work anticipates his later series of carnival paintings, such as The Carnival in the Piazza Colonna (Hartford, Wadsworth Atheneum; ibid, p. 25). Another version of this composition is held in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich (T. Kren, op. cit., p. 26).
