''Apollo and the Continents (Asia, figure of Asia)'' is a significant fresco by the Italian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, created between 1752 and 1753. This work forms part of a larger decorative scheme painted by Tiepolo on the ceiling of the Kaisersaal (Imperial Hall) in the Würzburg Residence, a palace in Würzburg, Bavaria, Germany. The Würzburg Residence, with its frescoed ceilings, is considered one of the most important palaces of the Baroque period in Europe and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The fresco series, of which ''Apollo and the Continents'' is a part, is an allegorical representation that glorifies the rule of Prince-Bishop Karl Philipp von Greiffenclau, who commissioned the work. The central theme revolves around the sun god Apollo, who is depicted in the larger composition as a symbol of enlightened absolutism, shining his light and bestowing peace and prosperity upon the four continents of the world known at the time: Europe, Asia, Africa, and America.

In the ''Asia'' section of the fresco, Tiepolo portrays the figure of Asia with exotic and opulent details, reflecting the European fascination with the East during the 18th century. The figure is typically adorned with rich garments and surrounded by artifacts and animals that Europeans associated with the continent, such as camels, elephants, and precious goods. Tiepolo's masterful use of color and dynamic composition captures the grandeur and diversity of Asia as imagined by the European mind of the era.

Tiepolo's work in the Würzburg Residence represents the pinnacle of his artistic career and showcases his ability to blend real and mythological elements into a cohesive and visually stunning narrative. The ''Apollo and the Continents'' frescoes are celebrated for their artistic virtuosity, their imaginative interpretation of classical themes, and their significant contribution to the Rococo style of painting. Tiepolo's frescoes in the Würzburg Residence, including the ''Asia'' figure, remain a testament to the artist's skill in creating grand-scale ceiling paintings that are both enchanting and architecturally integrated with the space they adorn.
