"Apollo and the Continents (Asia, obelisk group) 1752-53" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, painted as part of a larger series that adorns the ceiling of the grand staircase of the Residenz in Würzburg, Germany. This monumental work, commissioned by the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, Carl Philipp von Greiffenclau, is a vivid representation of the continents of the world, showcasing Tiepolo's mastery in creating dynamic compositions and his ability to manipulate light and color to dramatic effect.

The Asia section of the fresco, specifically the obelisk group, is particularly notable for its exotic and imaginative portrayal of the continent. Tiepolo incorporates a variety of symbolic elements that were believed to represent Asia at the time, including an obelisk, camels, and figures in lavish attire. The central figure of Apollo, the sun god, symbolizes enlightenment and knowledge, overseeing and illuminating the scene. This artwork not only exemplifies Tiepolo's skill in fresco painting but also reflects the broader cultural and artistic trends of the 18th-century Enlightenment, where art served as a medium for intellectual and geographical exploration.

Tiepolo's work on the Residenz ceiling is considered one of the pinnacles of Rococo art in Germany, characterized by its lightness, elegance, and festive qualities. "Apollo and the Continents" captures the essence of this period, with its elaborate allegories and grand scale, making it a masterpiece of both decorative and narrative art.
